Discovery which cannot be timely responded to prior to the

discovery deadline will be met with disfavor, and could

result in denial of an extension, exclusion of evidence, or

the imposition of other sanctions. Parties are directed to

LRCiv 7.2(j), which prohibits filing discovery motions

unless the parties have first met to resolve any discovery

difficulties. If parties cannot reach a resolution of

discovery disputes arising during depositions, they are

directed to arrange a conference call with the Court to

resolve the disputes. 

(3) All dispositive motions shall be filed by September

5, 2008. 

(4) A Joint Pretrial Statement shall be filed by

September 22, 2008. If dispositive motions are filed, then

this Joint Pretrial Statement shall be due either on the

above date or 30 days following the resolution of the

motions, whichever is later. The content of the Joint

Pretrial Statement shall include, but not be limited to,

that prescribed in a standard form of Joint Pretrial

Statement provided to the parties. The parties shall

augment the Joint Pretrial Statement as necessary so it

contains all of the pretrial disclosures as defined and

required by Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(a)(3). It shall be the

responsibility of the plaintiffs to timely initiate the

process of drafting the Joint Pretrial Statement and the

plaintiffs shall submit their draft of the Joint Pretrial

Statement to the defendants no later than ten business days

prior to the date for filing the Joint Pretrial Statement.

(5) Motions in limine shall be filed no later than the

date of filing of the Joint Pretrial Statement. Responses

to motions in limine are due ten business days after

service. No replies are permitted. The hearing on the

motions in limine, if one is permitted by the Court, will

take place at the time of the Pretrial Conference. No

motion in limine shall be filed unless a statement of moving

counsel is attached thereto certifying that after personal

consultation and sincere efforts to do so, counsel have been

unable to satisfactorily resolve the matter.

(6) The Pretrial Conference set for August 11, 2008 is

vacated, and the attorneys for each party who will be

responsible for trial of the lawsuit, or the parties if pro

per, shall appear and participate in a Pretrial Conference

on Monday, October 20, 2008, at 3:00 p.m. Because Pretrial

Conferences are held for the parties' benefit, and further

because the parties' presence will facilitate frank

discussion of the pertinent issues in the lawsuit, each

party or a representative with binding settlement authority

shall attend the Pretrial Conference. If dispositive

motions are filed, the Court will continue the date of the

Pretrial Conference, if one is still necessary, until after

the resolution of such motions and the filing of a Joint

Pretrial Statement.

(7) Unless otherwise subsequently ordered by the Court,

the parties’ trial briefs, proposed findings of fact and

conclusions of law or proposed jury instructions and voir
