August 20, 2020 Filing 17 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: The Court is in receipt of Plaintiffs' motion to strike Defendant's affirmative defenses and introduction to its answer #15 . Defendant shall file any response or objection to the motion on or before 9/3/20, and no reply shall be permitted absent prior leave of the court. The 8/27/20 notice of motion date is stricken, and the parties need not appear. Additionally, the Court is in receipt of the parties' amended joint status report, #13 . The Court adopts the schedule proposed by the parties, as follows: the deadline for supplementing Rule 26(a)(1) disclosures and for issuing final written discovery is set for 1/15/21; the deadline for any amendments is set for 2/1/21; and fact discovery shall close 3/1/21. The parties shall exchange expert disclosures by 3/29/21; disclose rebuttal experts by 4/26/21; and expert discovery shall be completed by 5/24/21. Additionally, any dispositive motions shall be filed on or before 6/14/21. The parties shall file any responses by 7/5/21, with replies due 7/12/21. This is a generous discovery schedule, and the parties are advised that, absent an extraordinary showing, the Court will not extend it. By 2/8/20, the parties shall file an updated joint status report confirming that they are on track to meet the discovery deadlines, and indicating whether any party will, in fact, file a motion for summary judgment. If the parties decide at any time that a settlement conference could be productive, they should call chambers to request one, and the Court will refer the case to the assigned Magistrate Judge for that purpose.

July 10, 2020 Filing 5 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: This case has been assigned to the calendar of the Honorable John Robert Blakey. The litigants are ordered to review and fully comply with all of this Court's standing orders, which are available on Judge Blakey's information page on the Court's official website: http://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/. In addition, the parties must file a status report no later than 8/7/2020, using the model template set forth in this Court's standing order regarding Initial (or Reassignment) Status Conferences. Failure by any party to file the status report by the requisite deadline (either jointly or, if necessary, individually with an explanation as to why a joint report could not be filed) may result in a summary dismissal of the case for failure to prosecute, or an entry of default against any served defendant(s) failing to comply with this order. During the litigation, the attorneys must also appear at all hearing dates set by the Court or noticed by the parties. If an attorney has a conflict with a set court date, the attorney must notify Judge Blakey's Courtroom Deputy, Gloria Lewis, at (312)818-6699. If appropriate, the Court will then reset the matter. Advising opposing counsel of a scheduling conflict is not a substitute for communicating directly with the Court. Mailed notice (gel, )
