Quezada, Plaintiff, v. Con-Way, Inc., Defendant.
ORDER SCHEDULING TRIAL AND
PRETRIAL MATTERS
Following the Case Management Conference, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Case Management Statement is adopted, except as expressly modified by this Order. It is further ORDERED that:
A. DATES Jury Trial Date: 3/24/2014, at 8:00 a.m., 15 days Jury Selection: 3/19/2014, at 8:00 a.m. Pretrial Conference: Monday, 1/20/2014, at 2:00 p.m. Last Day to Hear Dispositive Motions: Friday, 11/8/2013, Last Day to Designate Experts: 7/30/2013 Close of ALL Discovery: 8/30/2013
B. DISCOVERY
The parties are reminded that a failure voluntarily to disclose information pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a) or to supplement disclosures or discovery responses pursuant to Rule 26(e) may result in exclusionary sanctions. Thirty days prior to the close of non-expert discovery, lead counsel for each party shall serve and file a certification that all supplementation has been completed.
C. ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
This matter is referred for assignment to Magistrate Judge Maria Elena James to conduct a settlement conference to be completed by August 13, 2013. Counsel will be contacted by that judge's chambers with a date and time for the conference.
D. PROCEDURE FOR AMENDING THIS ORDER
No provision of this order may be changed except by written order of this court upon its own motion or upon motion of one or more parties made pursuant to Civil. L. R. 7-1 or 7-1-(b) without a showing of very good cause. If the modification sought is an extension of a deadline contained herein, the motion must be brought before expiration of that deadline. The parties may not modify the pretrial schedule by stipulation. A conflict with a court date set after the date of this order does not constitute good cause. The parties are advised that if they stipulate to a change in the discovery schedule, they do so at their own risk. The only discovery schedule that the Court will enforce is the one set in this order. Additionally, briefing schedules that are specifically set by the court may not be altered by stipulation; rather the parties must obtain leave of Court.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
