The parties are advised to consult with Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2)

regarding expert disclosures. Such disclosures shall include an expert

report, all supporting materials, a complete statement of all opinions

to be expressed and the basis and reasons therefor, the data or other

information considered by the expert in forming the opinions, any

exhibits to be used as a summary of or as support for the opinions, the

qualifications of the witness including a list of all publications

authored by the witness within the preceding ten years, the compensation

to be paid for the study and testimony, and a list of other cases in

which the witness has testified as an expert at trial or by deposition

within the preceding four years. 

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.

2. All fact discovery shall be completed by all parties on or

before October 24, 2008. All expert discovery shall be completed by all

parties on or before November 7, 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. In addition, all discovery motions

must be filed within thirty (30) days after the close of discovery.

All other dates and deadlines, including the November 26, 2008

deadline for filing all other pretrial motions, shall remain as

previously set.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
