Filing 15

MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS VACATING SCHEDULING CONFERENCE AND ENTERING SCHEDULING DATES by Judge George H. King: This matter is before us for scheduling conference on Monday, February 14, 2011. We have considered the Report of Parties' Planning Meeting and determine that an in-person scheduling conference is unnecessary. Accordingly, the scheduling conference is hereby VACATED and TAKEN OFF CALENDAR. We now enter the following scheduling order: 1. Any stipulation or motion to amend as to any claims, defenses and/or parties shall be lodged/filed by no later than March 11, 2011, failing which it shall be deemed that party's waiver of any such amendments in this action. 2. All fact discovery shall be COMPLETED by no later than July 29, 2011. Completion means that any discovery that is not received in hand by the requesting party by the completion date will be denied. If any discovery motions are necessary, the parties shall ensure that they are calendared and heard by the magistrate judge sufficiently in advance of the completion date to permit actual production, by the completion date, of any discovery the judge might order. 3. The parties shall designate their expert witnesses, if any, and make the required disclosures by no later than July 29, 2011, and do likewise for any rebuttal expert witnesses by no later than August 19, 2011. 4. All expert discovery shall be COMPLETED by no later than September 16, 2011. 5. The parties shall comply with Local Rule 16-15 by no later than September 30, 2011. The parties elect to go to private mediation. We approve this election. If the case settles, counsel shall notify the court clerk forthwith. If the case does not settle, counsel shall file a joint status report with the court within 48 hours of termination of settlement discussions. 6. Any motion for summary judgment shall be filed in compliance with the Local Rules, as well as our Order Re: Summary Judgment Motions issued concurrently herewith, by no later than November 4, 2011, and noticed for hearing thereafter regularly under the Local Rules. Any untimely or non-conforming motion will be denied. 7. The court will set pre-trial conference and trial dates, if necessary, after resolution of the summary judgment motion(s). (bm)
