Entry Concerning Selected Matters
The court, having considered the above action and the matters which are
pending, makes the following rulings:
1.

The parties shall adhere to the following schedule. In doing so, the

parties are reminded that discovery in civil litigation is intended to be an
essentially cooperative, self-regulating process for which the parties take
responsibility, with little judicial intervention required. In proceeding as directed
herein, the parties are reminded that “[a] party must make its initial disclosures
based on the information then reasonably available to it. A party is not excused
from making its disclosures because it has not fully investigated the case or because
it challenges the sufficiency of another party's disclosures or because another party

has not made its disclosures.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(a)(1)(E).
2.

Initial disclosures shall be exchanged not later than February 12,

a.

The plaintiff shall make the following disclosures to counsel for the

2013.

defendant(s):
The name of each individual likely to have
discoverable information about his claims; a copy or
description of all documents the party may use to
support his claims; and a computation of each
category of damages and the documents on which
those computations are based.
b.

The defendant(s) shall make the following disclosures to the plaintiff:
The name of each individual likely to have
discoverable information about their defenses; and
a copy or description of all documents they may use
to support their defenses.

3.

Upon the exchange of the disclosures directed above, but not until

then, the parties may engage in additional written discovery, with all such
additional discovery to be completed by April 24, 2013.
4.

Any dispositive motion, including any motion for summary judgment,

shall be filed not later than May 23, 2013.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
