 If defendants Dodd and/or Purbaugh file any motion pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P.

12(b)(2) or (3), their memorandum of points and authorities shall throughly discuss why such

defenses have not been waived pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(g) and (h).

 In order to conserve scarce judicial resources, the parties are directed to promptly

inform the Court if they are involved in negotiations which they reasonably believe may make

the resolution of any pending motion unnecessary.

 Counsel are advised that the Chambers' e-mail box, established pursuant to the

Court's CM/ECF rules, is to be used solely for the purpose of sending proposed orders to the

Court, and is NOT to be used as a means of communicating with Chambers' staff.

(2) The parties shall exchange their respective initial disclosures pursuant to

Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(a)(1), and file with the Court a notice of such exchange, no later

than 6/16/06. The parties shall disclose their expert witnesses, if any, and their

reports in compliance with Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(a)(2)(B) no later than 10/2/06. Expert

witness depositions shall be completed by 11/17/06. 

(3) All discovery, including answers to interrogatories, shall be completed by

12/15/06, and supplemental disclosures and discovery responses shall thereafter be

made as required by Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(e). 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.

 (4) All dispositive motions shall be filed by 1/22/07. 

(5) A Joint Pretrial Statement shall be filed by 2/12/07. 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 attached as an exhibit to the Order Setting

Scheduling Conference. 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 plaintiff to timely initiate the

process of drafting the Joint Pretrial Statement and the plaintiff shall submit his draft

of the Joint Pretrial Statement to the defendant no later than ten business days prior

to the date for filing the Joint Pretrial Statement.

 (6) Motions in limine, if any, shall be filed at the same time as 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.

(7) 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

3/12/07 at 1:30 p.m. in Courtroom 601 of the Sandra Day O’Connor United States

Courthouse, 401 W. Washington St., Phoenix, Arizona 85003. 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.

(8) Selection of a trial date, and directions for filing trial briefs, proposed

findings of fact and conclusions of law or proposed jury instructions and voir dire

questions, and for marking trial exhibits shall be set forth in an order entered

following the completion of the Pretrial Conference.

(9) The parties are cautioned that the deadlines set in this Scheduling

Order shall be enforced, and that the Court will not entertain any stipulations

to continue them - any request to extend any of the deadlines set herein must

be made by means of a motion, joint or otherwise, and no such motion shall

be granted unless very good cause is shown.
