(*) indicates a deadline that cannot be changed without showing good cause. Good cause is not
shown merely by indicating that the parties agree that the deadline should be changed.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Notice of Mediator: The parties are to jointly file a notice that identifies the agreed upon
mediator or indicates that no agreement was reached. If the parties do not reach an agreement,
the Court will appoint a mediator. The parties should not file a list of mediators to be considered
by the Court.
Summary Judgment Motions: Prior to filing any summary judgment motion, the
parties must submit letter briefs seeking permission to file the motion. The opening letter brief
in each of those matters shall be no longer than five (5) pages and shall be filed with the Court no
later than the deadline for filing letter briefs. Answering letter briefs in each of those matters
shall be no longer than five (5) pages and filed with the Court no later than fourteen (14) days
thereafter. Reply briefs in each of those matters shall be no longer than three (3) pages and filed
with the Court no later than five (5) days thereafter. The Court may decide the question on the
submissions or hold a hearing or telephone conference to hear arguments and to determine
whether the filing of any motion will be permitted. Letter briefs shall be filed without exhibits.
Any requests to submit letter briefs after the deadlines outlined above must show good cause.
Indefiniteness: In lieu of early motions for summary judgment, the parties are directed
to include any arguments related to the issue of indefiniteness in their Markman briefing, subject
to the local rules’ normal page limits.
Motions for Continuance: The following excuses will not warrant a continuance nor
justify a failure to comply with the discovery deadline:
(a)
The fact that there are motions for summary judgment or motions to dismiss pending;
(b)
The fact that one or more of the attorneys is set for trial in another court on the same day,
unless the other setting was made prior to the date of this order or was made as a special
provision for the parties in the other case;
(c)
The failure to complete discovery prior to trial, unless the parties can demonstrate that it
was impossible to complete discovery despite their good faith effort to do so.
Amendments to the Docket Control Order (“DCO”): Any motion to alter any date on
the DCO shall take the form of motion to amend the DCO. The motion to amend the DCO shall
include a proposed order that lists all of the remaining dates in one column (as above) and the
proposed changes to each date in an additional adjacent column (if there is no change for a date
the proposed date column should remain blank or indicate that it is unchanged). In other words,
the DCO in the proposed order should be complete such that one can clearly see all the
remaining deadlines and the changes, if any, to those deadlines, rather than needing to also refer
to an earlier version of the DCO.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
