with Rule 16(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The Court expects notification as soon as possible and practicable. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, upon receipt of notice that the parties are prepared for a Rule 16 Preliminary Pretrial Conference, the Court will issue a separate Order which sets the time and date for the Preliminary Pretrial Conference. Because this Court requires a filing that is broader and more detailed than that proposed in a "Form 35 Report of Parties' Planning Meeting," the Order setting the Rule 16 Preliminary Pretrial Conference will also instruct the parties regarding the specific contents the Court expects in their Proposed Case Management Plan. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that full compliance with Rule 26(f) is expected prior to the date of the Rule 16 Pretrial Conference. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that to satisfy the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a) the parties shall file with the Clerk of the Court a Notice of Initial Disclosure; copies of the actual disclosures shall therefore not be filed. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, absent Court approval, no party may seek discovery from any source before the parties have met and conferred as required by Rule 26(f). Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(d). IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff shall serve Defendant(s) with a copy of this Order.
