   Civil Rights: Jobs | District Of Columbia

   .Order ~Util - Set/Reset Deadlines

   MINUTE ORDER. In the Scheduling Order issued on June 24, 2025, as amended on April 14, 2026, the Court ordered that a post-discovery status conference would be held on June 22, 2026. The hearing was convened, but while counsel for the defendant was present, counsel for the plaintiff was not, and neither the defense attorney nor the Courtroom Deputy were able to reach her. Defense counsel informed the Court that interrogatories and requests for production of documents propounded some time ago had never been answered and therefore, no deposition had been scheduled. In short, the case has been dormant, and discovery is nowhere near complete. The WMATA lawyer advised the Court that the case had been passed from one attorney in the plaintiff's law firm to current counsel, and he suggested that perhaps the matter had fallen between the cracks as part of the transition. He added, though, that the new lawyer was not returning his calls. Given all of those circumstances, he was understandably unable to make any representations about the status of the case, and he proposed extending the period to complete discovery. In light of all of that information, and since the defendant has never previously brought the plaintiff's unresponsiveness to the Court's attention, the Court will extend the discovery period as follows: plaintiff's answer to requests for production and interrogatories must be transmitted to the defendant by July 17, 2026, the deposition of the plaintiff must be completed by August 7, and fact discovery will close and a joint status report with regard to fact discovery will be due on August 14. Plaintiff must deliver any notices of expert witnesses pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. Proc. 26(a)(2) to the defense by August 14, 2026; defendant's disclosures will be due on September 11, and any rebuttal disclosures by the plaintiff will be due on September 30. Expert discovery will then close on October 30. However, before the Court takes any further action in connection with the case, schedules another post-discovery conference, or inquires about the parties' interest in mediation, it must be assured that the case is in fact ongoing. Therefore, the Court orders the plaintiff to show cause as to why the matter should not be dismissed for want of prosecution and why counsel had cause to be absent on June 22 by June 30, 2026. SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 6/23/2026. (lcabj2)
