Background
The parties appeared for an initial case-management conference on July 17, 2023. After reviewing the pleadings and consulting with the parties, the court entered a scheduling order under Rule 16 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
Scheduling Order
The parties may amend the pleadings and join additional parties through September 29, 2023. After that date, further amendments or joinder require good cause.
The deadline for completing fact discovery is August 30, 2024. Depositions must also be completed by that date, and each side is limited to five depositions. Expert discovery must be completed by October 15, 2024.
Discovery Requirements
The parties must follow the court’s individual procedures for discovery disputes. Counsel must comply with Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 1 and 26(b)(1) when conducting discovery. The order also directs counsel to understand and follow the requirements governing document requests, objections, and attorney certifications under Rules 34 and 26(g). It warns that overly broad requests may be improper and that insufficiently specific objections may be treated as forfeited, except for objections based on privilege as described in the order.
Status Update and Disposition
The parties must file a joint status letter by September 16, 2023, updating the court on mediation and discovery. Judge Katharine H. Parker entered the scheduling order. The opinion does not decide the underlying claims or defenses.
