of Civil Procedure, and discovery subpoenas under Rule 45, must be initiated a sufficient period

of time in advance of the cut-off date, so that it may be completed by the cut-off date, taking into

Procedure. Counsel shall promptly and in good faith meet and confer with regard to all discovery

disputes in compliance with Local Rule 26.1(a). All discovery motions shall be filed within 30

days after counsel have met and conferred and reached an impasse with regard to any particular

discovery issue, but in no event shall discovery motions be filed more than 30 days after the

close of discovery.

 4. All other pretrial motions must be filed on or before April 19, 2010. Motions will

not be heard or calendared unless counsel for the moving party has obtained a motion hearing

date from the law clerk of the judge who will hear the motion. Failure to timely request a motion

date may result in the motion not being heard. 

Briefs or memoranda in support of or in opposition to any pending motion shall not

exceed twenty-five (25) pages in length without leave of the judge who will hear the motion. No

reply memorandum shall exceed ten (10) pages without leave of the judge who will hear the

motion.

5. A second telephonic Mandatory Settlement Conference shall be conducted on

26(a)(3) on or before May 7, 2010. The parties should consult Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(3) for the

waste of time) of the Federal Rules of Evidence. Counsel shall also bring a court copy of the
