April 11, 2024 Filing 15 NOTICE by Diane Stecich Proof of Service of Plaintiff's Rule 26 Initial Disclosures (Kaczmarek, Michael)
April 9, 2024 Filing 14 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Young B. Kim: Parties are ordered to adhere to the following supplemental written discovery schedule: (1) serve answers to discovery requests (including production of responsive documents) by June 14, 2024; (2) confer about the adequacy of the discovery responses by June 28, 2024; and (3) file a joint status report identifying each side's written discovery issues (must identify the specific interrogatories and requests to produce), along with the relevant discovery responses as exhibits, by July 9, 2024. The court will review the status report and resolve written discovery issues identified in the status report. The court will not consider general objections to discovery requests when ruling on discovery issues. If the parties do not have any disputed written discovery issues, a status report is not required. Pursuant to Rule of Evidence 502(d), this court orders that inadvertent disclosures of attorney-client privileged and attorney work materials will not constitute a waiver of the associated privilege. The court further orders that upon written notification (including emails) from the opposing side that an inadvertent disclosure has occurred, the party shall return and/or destroy the materials at issue or file a motion for a determination on the claimed privilege within seven calendar days of the written notification. Mailed notice (ec)
April 9, 2024 Filing 13 Pursuant to Local Rule 72.1, this case is hereby referred to the calendar of Honorable Young B. Kim for the purpose of holding proceedings related to: discovery supervision and for settlement conference.(ca, )
April 9, 2024 Filing 12 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Nancy L. Maldonado: The Court has reviewed the parties' joint initial status report #11 . Given the parties' agreement on a discovery schedule, the Court will enter the proposed schedule and refer the case to the assigned magistrate judge for discovery supervision and a settlement conference, if and when requested. The Court strikes the 4/16/2024 initial status conference and sets the following fact discovery schedule: Rule 26(a)(1) disclosures due 4/15/2024; written discovery to issue by 5/14/2024; fact discovery closes 10/3/2024. The Court will defer setting a dispositive motion schedule until the conclusion of fact discovery. The case is referred to Magistrate Judge Kim for discovery supervision and settlement conference, if and when requested. Judge Kim has the authority to modify the discovery schedule. The Court notes that the parties indicate in the report that they anticipate "medical and expert discovery," but request that such discovery be scheduled after a ruling on dispositive motions, presumably on liability. While it is generally not this Court's practice to bifurcate liability and damages discovery in such a manner before and after dispositive motion practice, the Court will defer to the parties and Judge Kim as to the sequencing of discovery. The Court cautions the parties, however, that it will not permit multiple successive motions for summary judgment, and therefore if the parties intend to defer certain discovery until after dispositive motions, they must be certain that all discovery that is necessary for summary judgment practice is complete prior to the filing of any motion.
