The Court has reviewed the parties' joint #30 Rule 26(f) Report of Parties' Planning Meeting, which is hereby APPROVED AS MODIFIED. The deadlines proposed by the parties are therefore ADOPTED, as recounted in the parties' 26(f) Report, with certain modifications and are established as follows: The parties' initial disclosures must be made on or before June 29, 2018. A damages analysis will be provided by any party who has a claim or counterclaim for damages by October 1, 2018.

The parties' joint trial memorandum required by the Standing Order on Trial Memoranda in Civil Cases is due on or before July 1, 2019, or within thirty (30) days after the Court rules on the last-filed dispositive motion, whichever is later. The case will be trial ready on August 1, 2019, or within thirty (30) days after the joint trial memorandum is filed, whichever is later. Signed by Judge Charles S. Haight, Jr. on 5/25/2018.

May 23, 2018 Filing 30 REPORT of Rule 26(f) Planning Meeting. (O'Hara, Mark)
May 21, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 29 ELECTRONIC ORDER denying Plaintiff's #28 Second Motion for Extension of Time to File Rule 26(f) Report. Plaintiff seeks to extend the current deadline to file the parties' joint Rule 26(f) Planning Report, from May 17, 2018, to May 25, 2018. As the Court previously had occasion to remind the parties, the Local Rules require that motions for extension of time be filed at least three days before the deadline sought to be extended. See D. Conn. L. Civ. R. 7(b)(3); see also Doc. 21. Plaintiff filed the instant motion to extend on May 18, 2018, a day after the parties' 26(f) Report was due, and the motion contains no indication as to why it is late. See D. Conn. L. Civ. R. 7(b)(3) ("Any motion for extension of time filed fewer than three days before the deadline sought to be extended shall, in addition to satisfying all other requirements of this Rule, set forth reasons why the motion was not filed at least three days before the deadline in question."). Further, the Local Rules require all motions for extensions of time to include a statement that "(1) the movant has inquired of all non-moving parties and there is agreement or objection to the motion, or that (2) despite diligent effort, including making the inquiry in sufficient time to afford non-movant a reasonable opportunity to respond, the movant cannot ascertain the position(s) of the non-movant(s)." D. Conn. L. Civ. R. 7(a)(2). Here, Plaintiff's motion does not indicate Defendants' position on the requested extension; Plaintiff instead states that it "does not anticipate any objections to this request." Doc. #28 at 1 (emphasis added) This is insufficient. In granting the Plaintiff's prior -- and similarly deficient -- motion for an extension of time, the Court warned that "[a]ny future request for an extension must comply with the Local Rules." Doc. 21. As this motion fails to comply with the Local Rules, and with this Court's prior directive, it will be denied. The parties must forthwith jointly complete and file a report in the form prescribed by Form 26(f), which appears in the Appendix to the Local Rules, and in no event later than the close of business on May 24, 2018. Signed by Judge Charles S. Haight, Jr. on 5/21/2018. (Kaczmarek, S.)

The Court reminds the parties that any motion for an extension of time must be filed at least three (3) days before the deadline sought to be extended. D. Conn. L. R. Civ. 7(b)3. Any future request for an extension must comply with the Local Rules. Signed by Judge Charles S. Haight, Jr. on 5/7/2018. (Kaczmarek, S.)

Plaintiff moves to change the name of Defendant Lennox International, Inc., to Lennox Industries, Inc., pursuant to Rule 25(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. This Rule governs substitution of parties, in the event a party dies and the claim is not extinguished; a situation that is not present in the current matter. Here, Defendant Lennox Industries was simply improperly named in the Complaint. Accordingly, the Clerk of the Court is hereby directed to amend the caption to change Defendant Lennox's name from 'Lennox International, Inc.' to 'Lennox Industries, Inc.' Signed by Judge Charles S. Haight, Jr. on 4/17/2018. (Kaczmarek, S.)
