2) Parties' Rule 26(f) Planning Meeting and Submission of Proposed Discovery Plan: 

Pursuant to 14 C.P.R. § 13.217 and Civ. R. 26(f), prior to convening with the Judge for the

planning meeting and prepare a jointly written proposed scheduling/ discovery plan, which must 

be completed and filed with the undersigned Judge on or before Thursday, June 12, 2014 (i.e. 

seven (7) calendar days before the Conference). 

The attorneys of record and all unrepresented parties are jointly responsible for arranging the 

Rule 26(f) conference, and for attempting in g'ood faith to agree on the proposed discovery plan. 

The parties' Rule 26(f) planning meeting shall include a good faith discussion about the 

nature and basis of each party's claims, the possibility of resolving all or part of the case, the 
scope and type of discovery (including electronic discovery) and the place of venue for hearing. 

During this meeting, the parties shall discuss matters identified in 14 C.F.R. § 13.217 and Rule 

26(t)(2) and (3) as part of developing their proposed scheduling/discovery plan. 

The parties' planning meeting should also include discussion about the sequence and timing 

of follow-up discovery, including whether that discovery should be conducted in phases to 

prepare for any filing of particular motions (e.g., limiting scope of trial, dispositive motions, etc). 

The deadlines in the parties' proposed scheduling/discovery plan should be mutually agreeable, 

with a view to achieving case resolution with a minimum of expense and delay. Any unresolved 

scheduling/discovery disputes should be clearly identified in the proposed plan, so that these 

disputes may be addressed by the Judge during the Rule 16 Litigation Scheduling Conference.
