UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

Jesse Stead
v.

Civil No. 12-cv-512-PB

Bank of America, N.A., et al,

O R D E R
On March 20, 2013, a preliminary pretrial conference
was held in this case.

Plaintiff appeared on his own

behalf; Attorney Jennifer Turco Beaudet appeared for
defendants.

The court approves defendants’ Proposed

Discovery Plan (document no. 10) with amendments to certain
deadlines as discussed during the conference.
The parties concurred with respect to each of the
amendments, with the exception of two matters that the court
neglected to address during the conference.

First, the

proposed deadline for closure of discovery is more than two
months after the summary judgment deadline.

The court has

adjusted that deadline to bring it in line with the schedule
as a whole.

Second, the proposed deadline for motions to

dismiss is identical to the summary judgment deadline.

The

court has adjusted that deadline to reflect our local rules.

The key deadlines in the discovery plan are contained in the
chart below.
