 1 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.

any, and their reports in compliance with Fed.R.Civ.P.

26(a)(2)(B) no later than April 30, 2006. The defendant shall

disclose its expert witnesses, if any, and their reports in

compliance with Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(a)(2)(B) no later than June 1,

2006. Expert witness depositions shall be completed by July

30, 2006.

(3) All discovery, including answers to

interrogatories, shall be completed by August 30, 2006, 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 September

29, 2006. 

(5) A joint letter to the Court, sent directly to

Chambers and not filed with the Clerk of the Court, concerning

the status of settlement discussions (containing no specific

settlement terms or offers) shall be submitted at the time the

Joint Pretrial Statement is filed.

(6) A Joint Pretrial Statement shall be filed by November

3, 2006. 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 provided to the parties. 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 its 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.

(7) Motions in limine shall be filed no later than the

date of filing of 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.

(8) 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 Monday,

November 27, 2006, at 3:30 p.m. 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.

(9) 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.

(10) 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.

Dated this 6th day of March, 2006.
