UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA Yacov Waxman, Civil No. 12-2100 (RHK/AJB) Plaintiff, ORDER v. Kaba Ilco Corp., et al., Defendants. Notwithstanding the provisions of Local Rules 7.1(c)-(d), IT IS ORDERED that the following procedures shall apply to the dispositive-motion 1 practice in this case: 1. The moving party shall first contact the Court’s calendar clerk, Deb Siebrecht, at (651) 848-1166, to secure a hearing date at least 42 days in the future. Once the moving party has secured a hearing date, it shall promptly file a notice of motion informing all parties of the nature of the motion and the date, time, and location of the hearing; 1 The following are deemed dispositive motions under this Order: motions for preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, including motions for temporary restraining orders; motions to dismiss, for judgment on the pleadings, or for summary judgment; motions to certify a class action; motions to exclude expert testimony under Daubert v. Merrill Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 509 U.S. 579 (1993), and/or Federal Rule of Evidence 702; motions to remand or transfer; and motions to compel arbitration. A party moving for a temporary restraining order must file and serve its motion papers, in addition to the Summons and Complaint, on the proposed-enjoined party before the Court will entertain the motion. In addition, a motion for a temporary restraining order is not subject to the 42-day rule set forth below; rather, the calendar clerk will advise the parties of the hearing date and briefing schedule. All motions for injunctive relief and motions to exclude expert testimony will be handled without live witness testimony absent advance permission from the Court. 2. The moving party shall serve and file the following documents at least 42 days before the scheduled hearing: (a) motion; (b) memorandum of law; and (c) affidavits and exhibits; 2 3. The responding party shall serve and file the following documents at least 21 days before the hearing: (a) memorandum of law; and (b) affidavits and exhibits; 4. The moving party may serve and file a reply memorandum of law at least 14 days before the hearing. A reply memorandum shall not raise new grounds for relief or present matters that do not relate to the response; 5. If the Court sua sponte cancels the hearing or continues the hearing date, all subsequently filed motion papers must be served as if the original hearing date were still in effect, unless otherwise directed by the Court; and 6. Parties need not meet and confer, as required under Local Rule 7.1(a), in advance of filing a dispositive motion, although they are encouraged to do so to attempt to narrow the issues presented to the Court. All other provisions in Local Rule 7.1 are unaffected by this Order and remain applicable, including the word limitations in Rule 7.1(f). Dated: August 28, 2012 s/Richard H. Kyle RICHARD H. KYLE United States District Judge * If a Defendant enters its appearance after this Order is filed, the Plaintiff(s) is directed to notify the Defendant of the existence of this Order and furnish a copy hereof. 2 Parties need not submit proposed orders with Motions. 2
