| Filing 21 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: On review of the status report, R. 20, the following discovery schedule is set. Rule 26(a)(1) disclosures due 05/31/2022. The first round of written discovery requests must be issued by 06/21/2022. Fact discovery must be completed by 10/28/2022. By 09/26/2022, 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. Rule 16(b) deadline to amend pleadings or to add parties is set for 08/29/2022. The parties proposed a deadline for after fact discovery, but the Rule 16(b) deadline should be within the fact discovery period so that permitted amendments can be the subject of discovery instead of potentially causing post-amendment discovery. The parties do not anticipate retained-expert discovery. The summary judgment briefing schedule will be set later. **No summary judgment motion may be filed before the close of fact discovery without prior authorization of the Court.** The tracking status hearing of 05/06/2022 is reset to 08/05/2022, but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Instead, the parties shall file a discovery progress report by 07/29/2022, by which time written discovery responses should have been exchanged. Emailed notice (mw, ) |
