THE CINCINNATI INSURANCE COMPANY; and APPLIED TECHNICAL SERVICES, INC. v. UNITED STATES LIABILITY INSURANCE COMPANY d/b/a United States Liability Group
ORDER
The defendant's motion to reset initial scheduling conference (Docket Entry No. 11) is GRANTED to the extent set forth below.
The defendant requests that the initial case management conference be rescheduled to February 19, 2012. However, February 19, 2012, is a Sunday. Therefore, the initial case management conference, currently scheduled on February 22, 2012, is RESCHEDULED to Wednesday, February 29, 2012, at 11:00 a.m., in Courtroom 764, U.S. Courthouse, 801 Broadway, Nashville, Tennessee.
If this date and time present scheduling conflicts for counsel, they shall confer with each other and call Ms. Jeanne Cox, Courtroom Deputy, at 615-736-5164, to reschedule.
The stay of discovery, pursuant to Rule 26(d) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, is hereby LIFTED.
Prior to the initial case management conference, counsel for the parties shall meet and confer pursuant to Rule 26(f) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and shall, to the extent possible, exchange initial disclosures pursuant to Rule 26(a)(1).
Prior to the initial case management conference, counsel for the parties shall also confer and shall prepare a proposed, joint initial case management order, including the parties' respective theories of the case, issues resolved and in dispute, proposed scheduling for the progression of the case, and any other relevant matters provided in Local Rule 16.01(d)(1)(c) and 16.01(d)(2). If the parties anticipate discovery of electronically stored information, they shall include in the proposed initial case management order the methodology for such discovery. See Administrative Order No. 174, entered July 9, 2007. If the parties anticipate little, if any, electronic discovery and they believe it is not necessary to be governed by Administrative Order No. 174, they shall so provide in the proposed initial case management order.
Counsel shall e-file the proposed order prior to the initial case management conference.
All counsel appearing at the initial case management conference shall bring with them their calendars and be cognizant of the calendars of any attorneys not appearing at the initial case management conference whose schedules are relevant to the scheduling in this case.
It is so ORDERED.
