Order on Motion for Extension of Discovery & PTO Deadlines
ORDER - The Court GRANTS the Joint Motion for Extension of Discovery & PTO Deadlines (ECF 10 ) as follows: (1) Plaintiff's amended complaint is due not later than July 29, 2026; (2) Initial disclosures are due not later than August 28, 2026; (3) Answer to complaint is due not later than September 29, 2026; (4) Discovery to be completed not later than December 28, 2026; (5) Discovery motions are due not later than January 29, 2027; (6) A joint ADR report and pretrial order are due not later than January 29, 2027; (7) Dispositive motions are due not later than March 29, 2027; (8) Expert disclosures are due 60 days after the Court's ruling on dispositive motions; and (9) Expert discovery to be completed 60 days after the expert disclosures deadline.
ORDER - No party may file a discovery motion without prior leave of Court. If a discovery dispute remains after the parties have conferred thoroughly and in good faith, any party may send an email to the Courtroom Deputy with a brief description of the discovery dispute (without attaching exhibits) and each party's respective position. After the Court has reviewed the email, the Courtroom Deputy will contact the parties to schedule a telephone conference, if necessary.
Additionally, any party wishing to file a motion for summary judgment must first file a motion for leave, not exceeding five pages, that briefly describes the basis of each ground raised in the motion and how the motion meets the standards for summary judgment. In other words, noting how the motion is based on issues of law or undisputed material facts, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party. Reciting disputed facts in the light most favorable to the moving party or ignoring material factual disputes does not support granting summary judgment. Motions for leave to file motions for summary judgment are due three weeks prior to the motion deadline, with responses due one week thereafter.
Finally, if a party uses artificial intelligence to perform legal research or analysis for any document filed with the court, the party must independently verify the existence and accuracy of any cited cases. Ordered by Judge Michael H. Simon. (mja)
