Case No. 2:14-cv-01921-JCM-CWH
ORDER

12
13

Presently before the Court is the parties’ Joint Proposed Discovery Plan and Scheduling

14

Order (Doc. #23). The Court recognizes that special scheduling review may be appropriate in this

15

case. The Court is concerned, however, that the proposed discovery plan does not include dates

16

certain, particularly with respect to the discovery cut-off date, the deadlines related to the parties’

17

contentions, the claim construction deadlines under Local Rules 16.1-13, 16.1-14, and 16.1-15, and

18

the date for the pre-claim construction settlement conference under Local Rule 16.1-19(a).

19

Specifically, the Court is concerned the lack of dates certain will lead to confusion and difficulty in

20

tracking discovery deadlines. The Court therefore will deny the parties’ Joint Proposed Discovery

21

Plan and Scheduling Order, without prejudice, for the parties to prepare a proposed discovery plan

22

that includes dates certain, to the furthest extent possible.

23

In preparing the revised discovery plan, the parties are directed to provide three dates the

24

parties are available for a pre-claim construction settlement conference under Local Rule 16.1-

25

19(a). With respect to the post-claim construction settlement conference under Local Rule 16.1-

26

19(b), the parties are directed to include a provision stating that once the claim construction order is

27

entered, the parties will file a joint stipulation with three dates the parties are available for a post-

28

claim construction settlement conference. With respect to the pretrial settlement conference under

1

Local Rule 16.1-19(c), the parties further are directed to include a provision stating that once the

2

pretrial order is filed, the parties will file a joint stipulation with three dates the parties are available

3

for a pretrial settlement conference.
