HEATHER RAMSEY, APRN-CNM; THE
MIDWIFE'S PLACE LLC, and BELLEVUE
MEDICAL CENTER, L.L.C.,
Defendants.
This matter is before the Court on the written request of counsel for the Defendant to
continue the trial and pretrial hearing dates in this matter due to a scheduling conflict. Good
cause having been shown, the Court grants this request.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the provisions of the Court's earlier, final progression order
remain in effect, and in addition to those provisions, the following shall apply:
1.
Pretrial Disclosures. Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(3), each party shall serve
opposing counsel and file a redacted version as applicable with the following information
regarding the evidence it may present at trial other than solely for impeachment purposes as soon
as practicable but not later than the date specified:
a.
Nonexpert Witnesses - On or before February 19, 2019: The name, address and
telephone number of each witness, separately identifying those whom the party expects to
present and those whom the party may call if the need arises.
b.
Deposition Testimony and Discovery - The designation of discovery testimony
and discovery responses intended to be utilized at trial is not required at this time.
c.
Trial Exhibits - On or before February 19, 2019: A list of all exhibits it expects to
offer by providing a numbered listing and permitting examination of such exhibits, designating
on the list those exhibits it may offer only if the need arises.
d.
Waiver of Objections. Any and all objections to the use of the witnesses,
deposition testimony, discovery responses, or exhibits disclosed pursuant to the above
subparagraphs, including any objection pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 32(a) that a deponent is
available to testify at the trial, shall be made a part of the pretrial order. Failure to list objections
(except those under Fed. R. Evid. 402 and 403) is a waiver of such objections, unless excused by
the Court for good cause shown.
2.
The Final Pretrial Conference with the assigned magistrate judge is reset for
March 18, 2019, at 1:30 p.m. in chambers, 111 South 18th Plaza, Suite 2271, Roman L. Hruska
United States Courthouse, Omaha, Nebraska. The final pretrial conference shall be attended by
lead counsel for represented parties. Counsel shall complete prior to the pretrial conference, all
items as directed in NECivR 16.2.1 By the time of the pretrial conference, full preparation for
trial shall have been made so that trial may begin immediately thereafter. The pretrial
conference will include a discussion of settlement, and counsel shall be prepared through
investigation, discovery and communication with clients and insurers, if any, to discuss fully the
subject of settlement, including realistic expectations about liability, obstacles to agreement,
offers made, and offers which can be made at the conference. Counsel shall be prepared to make
additional offers or proposals for settlement in behalf of their clients at the pretrial conference,
and counsel shall be prepared to make or opine on recommendations for further negotiations and
conferences.
3.
A 12 day jury trial is set to commence, at the Court's call, during the week of
April 8, 2019, in Omaha, Nebraska, before the Honorable Robert F. Rossiter, Jr., United
States District Judge. Unless otherwise ordered, jury selection shall be at the commencement of
trial.
4.
Motions to Alter Dates. All requests for changes of deadlines or settings
established herein shall be directed to the assigned magistrate judge by appropriate motion,
including all requests for changes of trial dates. Such motions shall not be considered in the
absence of a showing by counsel of due diligence in the timely development of this case for trial
and the recent development of circumstances, unanticipated prior to the filing of the motion,
which require that additional time be allowed.
Dated this 7th day of November, 2017.
BY THE COURT:
