SECOND AMENDED

SCHEDULING ORDER

IT IS ORDERED that the parties’ Joint Motion for Enlargement of Time for

Disclosure and Discovery (doc. #20) is granted to the extent that the Amended

Scheduling Order (doc. #16) is amended as follows:

(1) The parties shall disclose their expert witnesses, if any, and their

reports in compliance with Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(a)(2)(B) no later than June 3, 2008.

Rebuttal experts and their reports, if any, shall be disclosed no later than August

1, 2008.

(3) All fact and expert discovery, including answers to interrogatories and

depositions, shall be completed by September 2, 2008, 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 October 1, 2008. 

(5) A Joint Pretrial Statement shall be filed by October 31, 2008. 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 attached as an

exhibit to this Order. 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

her 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.

(6) 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.

(7) The Pretrial Conference set for September 8, 2008 is vacated, and the

The trial brief shall raise all significant disputed issues of law and fact, including

foreseeable procedural and evidentiary issues, and shall set forth the party’s positions

thereon with supporting arguments and authorities.

A form with instructions regarding the marking, listing and custody of exhibits,

and a form with instructions regarding the submission of jury instructions, shall be given

to counsel at the Pretrial Conference.

- 3 -

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, December 8, 2008, at 3:00 p.m. in Courtroom 601 of the Sandra

Day O’Connor United States Courthouse in Phoenix, AZ. 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.

(8) Unless otherwise subsequently ordered by the Court, the parties’ trial

briefs, proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law or proposed jury

instructions and voir dire questions shall be filed no later than December 19,

2008.

(9) The trial set for September 30, 2008 is vacated and is reset to

Tuesday, January 13, 2009, at 9:00 a.m. in the United States Post Office and

Courthouse, 101 W. Goodwin, Prescott, AZ.

(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. The parties are advised that the Court does not contemplate granting

any further extensions of the deadlines for disclosure of expert reports,

completing discovery, or filing dispositive motions.

DATED this 22nd day of February, 2008.
