ORDER

The proposed schedule in the Rule 56(f) Proposed Discovery Plan (Doc. 449) is 

rejected. It does not comply with the Civil Justice Reform Act, which requires civil 

actions to be concluded within three years of filing. Even apart from the Civil Justice 

Reform Act, the proposed schedule is unquestionably overlong. Extensive information is

already available publicly. If not already in hand, almost all documentary discovery can 

be produced in little more than a month. The 120 depositions sought is excessive. In any 

event, depositions can be planned in groups in advance and concluded in far less time 

than proposed. Only a single round of dispositive motions, not multiple rounds, will be 

permitted. No further amended pleadings will be allowed without meeting all the criteria 

of Fed. R. Civ. P. 15, especially timeliness, lack of prejudice to opposing parties, and lack 

of delay of the proceedings. 

IT IS ORDERED that the parties should prepare to discuss at the June 1, 2012 

case scheduling conference: 

 Concluding fact discovery by December 14, 2012. 

 What expert testimony is contemplated, why it is necessary, and why expert 

disclosures and discovery cannot be done by the close of fact discovery. 

 Why good faith settlement meetings as to individual cases and with 

assistance of mediators cannot be done by August 31, 2012, by which time 

the depositions of the parties should be completed. 

 Why the Wolfswinkel case should not be set on a separate schedule with 

early anticipated trial date. 

 All other matters. 

Dated this 30th day of May, 2012.
