Date Filed Document Text
October 6, 2023 Filing 21 NOTICE of Appearance by Michael A.S. Newman on behalf of American Income Life Insurance Company (Newman, Michael)
October 6, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 20 Telephonic pre-settlement conference set for October 11, 2023 at 9:00 a.m. before Judge Thomas O. Farrish. Telephone connection information will be e-mailed to all appearing counsel by Judge Farrish's courtroom deputy at their e-mail address of record.A date for the settlement conference will be set during the telephone call. Because the parties will likely be ordered to attend the conference, either in-person or via videoconference, counsel are instructed to obtain their client's schedules over the next ninety days and have them available during the pre-conference. Counsel should also have their own calendars available to aid in scheduling. During the telephone call, counsel should be prepared to discuss what, if any, information needs to be exchanged and anything else that needs to be accomplished prior to the settlement conference to maximize its chances of success.If either counsel has a firm, unavoidable conflict at the appointed date and time, e.g., a previously-scheduled appearance in another court, s/he should not file a motion for continuance on the docket but rather should call Chambers at 860-240-3605 as soon as possible with opposing counsel on the line to work out an alternate day and time for the pre-conference with Judge Farrish's law clerk. It is so ordered. Signed by Judge Thomas O. Farrish on 10/6/23.(Wood, R.)

October 2, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 18 GENERAL SCHEDULING ORDER. The parties' Joint Motion to Modify Scheduling Order (Doc. #17 ) is hereby APPROVED as modified by this order. All discovery shall be completed by November 9, 2024, and all other interim discovery dates set forth in the parties' Rule 26(f) Report are hereby adopted. Any dispositive summary judgment motions shall be filed by December 9, 2024, and any response to dispositive summary judgment motions shall be filed by January 9, 2025. The parties' joint trial memorandum is due by January 9, 2025, or within 30 days of the Court's ruling on dispositive summary judgment motions, whichever date is later. 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 on August 9, 2024 at 3:30 p.m.. Parties are instructed to call 877-402-9753; Access Code 8576007#. It is so ordered. Signed by Judge Jeffrey A.
