This disclosure requirement applies to all persons retained or

specially employed to provide expert testimony, or whose duties as an

employee of the party regularly involve the giving of expert testimony.

Please be advised that failure to comply with this section or any

other discovery order of the Court may result in the sanctions provided

for in Fed. R. Civ. P. 37, including a prohibition on the introduction

of experts or other designated matters in evidence.

3. All discovery, including expert discovery, shall be completed

by all parties on or before October 17, 2008. “Completed" means that

all discovery under Rules 30-36 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,

and discovery subpoenas under Rule 45, must be initiated a sufficient

period of time in advance of the cut-off date, so that it may be

completed by the cut-off date, taking into account the times for

service, notice, and response as set forth in the Federal Rules of Civil

Procedure.

Counsel shall promptly and in good faith meet and confer with

regard to all discovery disputes in compliance with Civil Local Rules

16.5(k) and 26.1(a). All discovery motions shall be filed within thirty

(30) days after counsel have met and conferred and reached an impasse

with regard to any particular discovery issue, but in no event shall

discovery motions be filed more than sixty (60) days after the date upon

which the event giving rise to the discovery dispute occurred. For oral

discovery, the event giving rise to the discovery dispute is the

completion of the transcript of the affected portion of the deposition.

For written discovery, the event giving rise to the discovery dispute is

either the service of the response, or, if no response was served, the

initial date the response was due.
