Except as provided in paragraph 4, below, any party that fails to make these disclosures

shall not, absent substantial justification, be permitted to use evidence or testimony not disclosed

at any hearing or at the time of trial. In addition, the Court may impose sanctions as permitted by

solely to contradict or rebut evidence on the same subject matter identified in an expert report submitted

by another party. Any such supplemental reports are due on or before December 15, 2007. 

Please be advised that failure to comply with expert discovery or any other discovery order

be completed by the cut-off date, taking into account the times for service, notice and response as set

parties must file their moving papers within three (3) days of receiving the motion hearing date

from the Court. Be further advised that the period of time between the date you request a motion

date and the hearing date may be up to six weeks. Please plan accordingly. For example, you may
