writing, on or before ____October 30, 2020__. All offers of settlement are to be private, not filed,

4. A report on alternative dispute resolution in compliance with Local Rule CV-88 shall be 

filed on or before _November 13, 2020_.

the expert’s proposed testimony or not later than 14 days of the expert’s deposition, if a deposition 

is taken, whichever is later. The failure to strictly comply with this paragraph will be deemed

6. The parties shall complete discovery on or before __March 1, 2021_. Counsel may, by 

agreement, continue discovery beyond the deadline, but there will be no intervention by the Court
