IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO
EASTERN DIVISION

CHRISTOPHER D. BAILEY,
Plaintiff,
Civil Action 2:11-CV-554
Judge Economus
Magistrate Judge King

vs.

USEC INC., et al.,
Defendants.
ORDER
The Court conferred with counsel, by telephone, on May 22, 2012.
Plaintiffs have filed a motion to certify, Doc. No. 35.
Defendants currently expect to respond to that motion within rule.
Defendants report that plaintiffs’ requests for production of
documents will likely produce an overwhelming number of documents.
The parties have agreed to work to narrow the search terms.
Plaintiffs will provide to defendants, by May 25, 2012, a list of
proposals in that regard.
Considering the pendency of the motion to dismiss as well as the
issues relating to the scope of document production, the parties
suggest – and the Court agrees – that an extension of certain interim
deadlines is appropriate.

It is therefore ORDERED as follows:

All fact discovery must be completed no later than August 15, 2012.
The reports of primary experts must be produced no later than
September 15, 2012;
November 1, 2012.

the reports of rebuttal experts must be produced

If the expert is specially retained, the reports must

conform to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2)(B), unless otherwise agreed to by the
parties.

If the expert is not specially retained, the reports must

conforms to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2)(C), unless otherwise agreed to by
the parties.
All expert discovery must be completed by December 1, 2012.
The parties are advised that these discovery completion dates
require that discovery requests be made sufficiently in advance to permit
timely response by that date.
The referral of the case to the September 2012 Settlement Week, and
the January 15, 2013 date for filing motions for summary judgment, remain
in effect.
If any date herein falls in a weekend or holiday, the next business
day will control.

May 22, 2012
