Date Filed Document Text
December 4, 2020 Filing 15 CERTIFICATE of Service First Set Written Discovery Requests Propounded upon Plaintiff by Marivel Montes on behalf of Sentinel Insurance Company, Ltd. (Montes, Marivel)
November 10, 2020 Filing 14 CERTIFICATE of Service Rule 7.1 Corporate Disclosure upon Plaintiff by Marivel Montes on behalf of Sentinel Insurance Company, Ltd. (Montes, Marivel)
November 3, 2020 Filing 13 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: On review of the status report, R. 11, the Court sets the following discovery schedule. Rule 26(a)(1) disclosures due 11/30/2020. The first round of written discovery requests must be issued by 12/15/2020. Fact discovery must be completed by 04/30/2021. Rule 16(b) deadline to add parties or amend pleadings is 01/11/2021. The deadline to serve subpoenas is 02/15/2021, absent good cause (e.g., genuine surprise despite due diligence). Any 26(a)(2)(C) summaries of employee-experts are due by 02/01/2021. By 03/15/2021, the parties shall file a Deposition Scheduling Report listing the depositions already taken and (more importantly) the remaining deponents, all of whom must have ***confirmed*** deposition dates (not just proposed dates). Any person not on that Report will presumptively not be deposed without good cause (e.g., genuine surprise despite due diligence). If deponents are slow in confirming deposition dates, the parties should use the Report deadline to urge each other and non-parties to provide confirmed dates to avoid a motion to compel in advance of the deadline. The Court strongly encourages the parties to be as fulsome as possible in early discovery (e.g., disclose the basis for the claim denial, including any reports explaining why the defense believes that the damage was caused by a flood), in order to get to a productive settlement conference. The Court will set the retained-expert discovery schedule later. The status hearing of 11/09/2020 is reset to 01/22/2021 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Instead, the parties shall file a joint discovery status report by 01/14/2021. Emailed notice (mw, )

October 9, 2020 Filing 7 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: Initial status hearing set for 11/09/2020 at 9:00 a.m. If held, the initial status hearing will be held telephonically. The parties shall provide a contact number to the courtroom deputy (Michael_Wing@ilnd.uscourts.gov) by 1:00 p.m. on the prior business day. The parties must file a joint initial status report with the content described in the attached status report requirements by 10/30/2020. Plaintiff must still file the report even if Defendant has not responded to requests to craft a joint report. If not all Defendants have been served, then Plaintiff must complete the part of the report on the progress of service. Also, counsel (or the parties, if proceeding pro se) must carefully review Judge Chang's Case Management Procedures, available online at ilnd.uscourts.gov (navigate to Judges / District Judges / Judge Edmond E. Chang). Because the Procedures are occasionally revised, counsel (or the party, if proceeding pro se) must read them anew even if the counsel or the party has appeared before Judge Chang in other cases.
