Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is February 28, 2022. Motions to compel written
discovery under Rules 33, 34, 36 and 45 must be filed by March 14, 2022.
Note: A motion to compel, to quash, or for a disputed protective order shall not be
filed without first contacting the chambers of the undersigned magistrate judge to

3)
The deadlines for identifying expert witnesses expected to testify at the trial, (both

Civ. P. 26(a)(2)(C)), are:

While treating medical and mental health care providers are generally not considered “specially retained experts,” not
all their opinions relate to the care and treatment of a patient. Their opinion testimony is limited to what is stated within their
treatment documentation. As to each such expert, any opinions which are not stated within that expert’s treatment records and
reports must be separately and timely disclosed.
