deadline. A written discovery request must be propounded by a date which ensures that the
response to that request is due on or before the discovery deadline. The parties are further

discovery. The parties are encouraged to review Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a)(2) to
ensure they properly disclose all testifying witnesses, not just those for whom a report is
required.
