FINAL SUBMISSION ORDER
Based upon the representations made by counsel for
all parties during a status conference on January 27,
2012, and with their agreement, it is ORDERED as follows:
(1) This lawsuit is set for final submission, without
oral argument, on August 10, 2012.
(2) The parties are allowed until May 18, 2012, to
complete discovery and the depositions of all persons
whose testimony will be made part of the evidentiary
record.
(3) By May 25, 2012, the parties are jointly to
develop

and

submit

to

the

court

a

record

of

the

evidence--depositions,

stipulations,

affidavits,

etc.--that they intend the court to rely upon.

The

record should be sequentially numbered, that is, Batesstamped, such that the parties and the court can quickly
refer to the entire record by page number.

If the record

is more than 100 pages, it should be broken down into
volumes.

The

record

should

begin

with

a

table

of

contents that indicates the volume and Bates page number
on which each document begins.
(4) Plaintiff is to file his brief by June 29, 2012.
(5) Defendant is to file its brief by July 27, 2012.
(6) Plaintiff may file a reply brief by August 10,
2012.
(7) When the parties refer to evidence in their
briefs, they must cite the specific document, volume, and
Bates-stamped page number where the evidence can be found
in the evidentiary record.

When citing to a lengthy

document, the parties should also identify the relevant

2

page number within the document.

A brief which fails to

comply with these requirements will be struck.
(8) In light of this agreed-upon disposition without
a trial, the parties are no longer to file dispositive
motions, that is, summary-judgment or dismissal motions.
DONE, this the 30th day of January, 2012.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
