Scheduling Order ~Util - Set Trial Management Order Deadlines
Mon 06/29 11:57 AM
ORDER RE SCHEDULING. The Court has reviewed the parties' Rule 26(f) Planning Report (Doc. #13) in which the parties seek to extend discovery until January 2022 and the filing of dispositive motions until February 2022. Based on the Court's review of the complaint and the lack of particular complexity to the allegations that buses were allowed to idle too long on specific dates, the Court concludes that the parties' proposed dates are too lengthy and that the parties can reasonably complete discovery within 10 months and file any dispositive motions within one year from today. All discovery shall be completed by April 30, 2021 . Dispositive motions shall be filed by June 29, 2021 . The parties' joint trial memorandum is due by June 29, 2021 , or within 30 days of the Court's ruling on dispositive summary judgment motions, whichever date is later. Based on these dates, counsel shall agree to any interim discovery dates such as for expert witness disclosure and depositions. The Court will thereafter set a trial date, and the parties should be prepared to proceed to jury selection within 30 days of the filing of the joint trial memorandum. Please refer to Judge Meyer's webpage on the District of Connecticut website for Judge Meyer's "Instructions for Discovery Disputes" and "Instructions for Joint Trial Memorandum" and "Pretrial Preferences" and "Trial Preferences." The parties are encouraged to commence discovery forthwith and to arrange their schedules in contemplation of the briefing deadlines for any dispositive motions, because the Court is unlikely to grant a future request for an extension of the scheduling order absent extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances. A telephonic status conference will be held at 4:15pm on January 8, 2021 . Plaintiff shall initiate call. Once all parties are on the line, please call chambers at (203) 773-2105. It is so ordered. Signed by Judge Jeffrey A. Meyer on 6/26/2020.(Freberg, B) |
