`Expert Reports. For the party who has the initial burden of proof on the subject
`
`matter, the initial Federal Rule 26(a)(2) disclosure of expert testimony is due on
`
`or before June 14, 2024. The supplemental disclosure to contradict or rebut
`

`
`or exceeds the scope of what is permitted in that expert report, the complaining
`
`party must notify the offending party within one (1) week of the submission of
`
`the expert report. The parties are expected to promptly try to resolve any such
`
`disputes, and, when they cannot reasonably be resolved, use the Court’s
`
`Discovery Dispute Procedure or the complaint will be waived.
