STATUS (PRETRIAL SCHEDULING)

ORDER

A status (pretrial scheduling) conference was held in this

case on August 9, 2010. Janet Uthe, Esquire, appeared on behalf of

Petitioner; Brent Seymore, Esquire, appeared on behalf of Respondent.

After hearing and consultation with the parties, the Court makes the

following Order.

DISCOVERY

All discovery shall be completed by October 12, 2010. In this

context, “completed” means that all discovery shall have been conducted

so that all depositions have been taken and any disputes relative to

discovery shall have been resolved by appropriate orders, if necessary,

and, where discovery has been ordered, the order has been complied with

or, alternatively, the time allowed for such compliance shall have

expired.1

for resolving discovery disputes. See Local Rule 302(c)(1). A party

conducting discovery near the discovery "completion" date risks losing

the opportunity to have a judge resolve a discovery dispute concerning

that discovery.

2

The parties shall exchange all expert reports on or before

September 14, 2010.

TRIAL BRIEFS

Petitioner shall file a trial brief no later than fourteen

(14) days from the date on which this order is filed. Respondent shall

file any opposition to Petitioner’s trial brief no later than fourteen

(14) days from the date on which Petitioner’s trial brief is filed.

Petitioner shall file any reply to Respondent’s opposition no later than

seven (7) days from the date on which opposition brief is filed.

EXHIBITS

The parties shall exchange a copy of all intended trial

exhibits, marked with exhibit stickers provided by the Court, on or

before October 12, 2010.

Petitioner’s exhibits shall be numbered and marked with

colored stickers and Respondent’s exhibits shall be designated by

alphabetical letter. To obtain stickers, parties should contact the

Clerk of Court at (916) 930-4000.

The parties shall file with the Court any objections to the

exhibits on October 15, 2010, on or before 12:00 p.m.

Failure to exchange exhibits as ordered could result in the

exhibit not being used at trial and/or the imposition of sanctions. The

failure to make objections in the manner prescribed by this section

shall constitute a waiver of objections.

The parties shall deliver an original and one copy of all

exhibits to the courtroom on the date trial is scheduled to commence

unless the exhibit is physically incapable of being reproduced. Failure

to produce exhibits as ordered could result in waiver of the right to

offer those exhibits. Each party submitting exhibits shall furnish a

list to the Court, the courtroom deputy, and opposing counsel itemizing

the exhibits. 

WITNESSES

The parties shall exchange a list of witnesses expected to

testify at trial with a summary of each witness’ expected testimony on

or before September 7, 2010.

The parties shall meet and confer for the purpose of resolving

evidentiary disputes. Any unresolved evidentiary dispute capable of

being resolved in limine shall be set forth in an in limine motion filed

no later than 12:00 p.m. on October 15, 2010. Failure to state a basis

for the admissibility or non-admissibility of disputed evidence

constitutes a waiver or abandonment of that basis. 

FURTHER STATUS CONFERENCE

2010, commencing at 9:00 a.m. The parties shall file a JOINT status

report no later than seven (7) days prior to the status conference. The

parties need only address in the joint status report whether the further

status conference is necessary, and if so, the issues the parties seek

to have addressed at the status conference, including each side’s

position the issue(s) with citation to any relevant authority.
