Date Filed Document Text
November 27, 2024 Filing 10 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: If Defendant has not yet responded to the complaint, it must do so by 12/6/24. Additionally, based upon the representations in the parties' 11/26/24 status report #9 , the Court sets case management dates as follows: the parties shall exchange Rule 26(a)(1) disclosures by 12/12/24, issue written discovery by 12/13/24, amend their pleadings (to add claims, parties, etc.) by 6/30/25, complete fact discovery by 10/13/25, and file an updated joint status report by 10/27/25 confirming that fact discovery is complete and indicating definitively whether either party will require expert discovery or seek summary judgment. The Court appreciates that the parties do not want a settlement conference right now but encourages them to exhaust all possibility of settlement before spending time and money on expert discovery or dispositive motions. To this end, Plaintiff shall make a formal, written demand by 10/17/25, Defendant shall respond in writing by 10/23/25, and the parties shall confirm compliance in their 10/27/25 status report. If at any time the parties agree that a settlement conference with the assigned Magistrate Judge could be helpful, they should call chambers to so advise. Mailed notice (gel, )
November 26, 2024 Filing 9 STATUS Report Joint Initial Status Report by Target Corporation (Puckelwartz, Christopher)
October 15, 2024 Filing 8 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 11/28/2024, 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 Gloria_Lewis@ilnd.uscourts.gov. 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, )
