CATHERINE TREMBLAY

Plaintiff, No. C-07-06009 EDL

v. ORDER FOLLOWING CASE 

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

Defendant.

_______________________________/

Following the Case Management Conference held on February 26, 2008, IT IS HEREBY

management order is entered:

1. DISCOVERY

a. All non-expert class discovery shall be completed no later than October 1, 2008.

b. Each side shall be limited to thirty depositions. Each party may propound fifty

interrogatories, fifty requests for admissions and one hundred requests for documents on each opposing

party.

c. Plaintiff shall disclose class experts no later than October 1, 2008. Defendant

shall disclose experts no later than October 31, 2008. All treating physicians who will provide opinion

testimony beyond that which can be provided by a lay person must be disclosed as expert witnesses, but

they need not prepare expert reports unless ordered to do so by the Court.

d. All expert class discovery shall be completed no later than January 30, 2009.

There will be no further expert discovery after that date except by order of the Court for good cause

shown. Motions to compel expert discovery must be filed within the time limits contained in Civil

Local Rule 26-2. 

e. Rule 26(e)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires all parties to

supplement or correct their initial disclosures, expert disclosures, pretrial disclosures, and responses to

discovery requests under the circumstances itemized in that Rule, and when ordered by the Court. The

Court expects that the parties will supplement and/or correct their disclosures promptly when required

under that Rule, without the need for a request from opposing counsel. In addition to the general

requirements of Rule 26(e)(1), the parties will supplement and/or correct all previously made

disclosures and discovery responses 28 days before the fact discovery cutoff date. 

f. Pursuant to Civil L.R. 37-1(b), telephone conferences are available to resolve

disputes during a discovery event, such as a deposition, where the resolution during the event likely

would result in substantial savings of expense or time.

g. Privilege logs. If a party withholds information that is responsive to a discovery

request, and is otherwise discoverable under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, by claiming that it

is privileged, or protected from discovery under the attorney work product doctrine or any other

protective doctrine (including, but not limited to, privacy rights), that party shall prepare a "privilege

log" (Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(5)) setting forth the privilege relied upon and specifying separately for each

document or for each category of identically situated documents:

1. The name, job title, or capacity of the author;

2. The name, job title, or capacity of each recipient;

on which it was sent to or shared with persons other than its

author(s);

4. The title and description of the document;

5. The subject matter addressed in the document;

6. The purpose(s) for which it was prepared or communicated; and

7. The specific basis for the claim that it is privileged.

The privilege log will be produced as quickly as possible, but no later than 14 days after the

discovery responses are due, unless the Court orders otherwise in a particular case.

h. In responding to requests for documents and materials under Rule 34 of the

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, all parties shall affirmatively state in a written response served on all

other parties the full extent to which they will produce materials and shall, promptly after the

production, confirm in writing that they have produced all such materials so described that are locatable

after a diligent search of all locations at which such materials might plausibly exist.

3. MOTIONS

The parties stipulate to the filing of an amended complaint by March 15, 2008

The Court will issue a separate order addressing the briefing schedule for Plaintiff’s Motion to

Conditionally Certify the Collective Action.

Plaintiff’s Motion to Certify Rule 23 Class shall be filed February 15, 2009.

4. ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION/SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE

A settlement conference shall be scheduled before another Magistrate Judge of this court.

Counsel will be contacted by that judge's chambers with a date and time for the conference.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 12, 2008
