CASE NO. __________________

GENERAL ORDER
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(f) requires the parties to confer,
develop a proposed discovery plan, and submit a report to this Court. Subsequent to
the filing of the report, a Scheduling Order must be entered pursuant to FED. R. CIV.
P. 16(b). Therefore, by the earlier of twenty-one (21) days after the filing of the last
answer of the defendants named in the original complaint or forty-five (45) days
after the first appearance by answer or motion under FED. R. CIV. P. 12 of a
defendant named in the original complaint, the parties shall confer as provided in
Rule 26(f). See L.R. 26.1(a). Thereafter, within fourteen (14) days after the required
conference held pursuant to 26(f), the parties shall submit to the Court a written
report conforming to the language and format of the Rule 26(f) Report attached to
this Order outlining their discovery plan. See L.R. 26.1(b).
Except in unusually protracted or complex cases, the parties will be
expected to adhere to the following deadlines and limitations:
1. The parties shall serve all written discovery on opposing parties
and shall complete all depositions within 140 days of the filing of
the last answer of the defendants named in the original complaint.
See L.R. 26.1(d)(i).
2. The plaintiff must furnish the expert witness reports required by
Rule 26(a)(2) within 60 days after the Rule 26(f) conference. See
L.R. 26.1(d)(ii).

3. The defendant must furnish the expert witness reports required by
Rule 26(a)(2) within 90 days after the Rule 26(f) conference (or 60
days after the answer, whichever is later). See L.R. 26.1(d)(iii).
4. The last day for filing motions to add or join parties or amend the
pleadings is 60 days after the first answer of the defendants named
in the original complaint. See L.R. 16.3.
5. The last day for filing all other motions, excluding motions in limine,
is 30 days after the close of discovery. See L.R. 7.4.

Plaintiff’s counsel shall ensure that a copy of this Order is served upon each party.
Finally, a party who cannot gain the cooperation of the other party in preparing the
Rule 26(f) report should advise the Court prior to the due date of the report of the
other party’s failure to cooperate.
SO ORDERED.
