`The disclosures described in Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2)(B) shall

`
`SCHEDULING ORDER
`
`completed by August 8, 2016. "Completed discovery" as used in Fed.
`R. Civ. P. 16(b) means that, within the time limits set, all
`discovery, objections, motions to compel, and all other motions and
`replies relating to discovery in this civil action have been filed
`and the party objecting or responding has had sufficient time under
`the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to make responses. The term
`"all discovery" in the preceding definition of "completed
`discovery" includes the disclosures required by Fed. R. Civ. P.
`26(a)(1) and (2), but does not include the disclosures required by
`Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(3).
`Parties have a continuing obligation to supplement their
`responses beyond the discovery cut-off date, as provided in Fed. R.
`Civ. P. 26(e). The parties should refer to L.R. Civ. P. 5.01, L.R.
`Civ. P. 26.01 -26.04, L.R. Civ. P. 33.01, L.R. Civ. P. 34.01, L.R.
`Civ. P. 36.01, and L.R. Civ. P. 37.01 - 37.02 for further
`instructions on discovery practice.
`The conduct of any discovery which would require a later time
`limit shall be permitted only on the order of the Court or by filed
`stipulation of the parties, and only in cases that will not be

`
`delayed for trial thereby.2 The parties should be aware that a
`stipulation to the continuance of discovery anticipates no
`discovery disputes and, therefore, this Court will not hear
`discovery disputes arising during the stipulated continuance.
`CLAIM CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTION/ANDA: The plaintiff shall
`4.
`produce the IND, NDA, and file histories no later than October 1,
`2015. Plaintiffs shall identify asserted claims by no later than
`November 4, 2015.
`The Defendants shall produce to Plaintiff samples of ANDA
`products for testing, including any amendments or supplements no
`later than October 1, 2015.
`Production of documents shall be substantially completed by no
`later than December 15, 2015.
`ESI PROTOCOL/PROTECTIVE ORDER: The parties shall submit
`5.
`their joint proposed protective order and ESI protocol to the Court
`by no later than October 23, 2015.
`
`Extension of the discovery deadline does not change the
`2
`other deadlines set forth herein nor shall it be a basis for
`seeking extension of those deadlines. In particular, the deadline
`for dispositive motions generally cannot be changed without
`affecting the trial date. In considering to extend discovery, the
`parties should give thought as to any possible impact on
`contemplated dispositive motions.

`the Court, all dispositive motions should be filed after the close
`of discovery.
`Any such motion must be supported by a memorandum at the time
`the motion is filed with the Clerk. Memoranda in opposition to
`such motions shall be delivered to the Clerk with copies served
`upon opposing counsel on or before October 28, 2016. Any reply
`memoranda shall be delivered to the Clerk with copies served upon
`opposing counsel on or before November 14, 2016. All dispositive
`motions unsupported by memoranda will be denied without prejudice.
`See L.R. Civ. P. 7.02(a).
`Factual assertions made in memoranda should be supported by
`specific references to affidavits, depositions or other documents
`made a part of the record before the Court. Copies of the
`supporting documents, or relevant portions thereof, should be
`appended to the memoranda. The parties may refer to L.R. Civ. P.
`7.02, L.R. Civ. P. 12.02 and L.R. Civ. P. 78.01 for details on
`motion practice before this Court.
`PRETRIAL MEMORANDA: A pretrial memorandum shall be

`
`The pretrial memorandum shall contain for each party, a list
`of all witnesses who will be called at the trial:
`A.
`Each list of witnesses should include the
`witnesses' addresses and a statement of the general
`subject matter of their testimony. It is NOT
`sufficient to designate the witness simply "fact,"
`"medical," or "expert." The list must also include
`an indication in good faith of those witnesses who
`WILL be called in the absence of reasonable notice
`to opposing counsel to the contrary and of those
`witnesses who MAY be called.
`This restriction does not apply to rebuttal
`witnesses or documents when necessity cannot be
`reasonably anticipated. Furthermore, in the case of
`expert witnesses, counsel shall certify that they
`have exchanged expert reports or have otherwise
`exchanged expert information. Expert witnesses
`whose reports have not been furnished to opposing
`counsel will not be permitted to testify nor shall
`experts be permitted to testify to opinions not
`included in the reports timely furnished.
`Except for good cause shown, the Court will not
`permit any witness to testify unless with respect
`to such witness there has been complete compliance
`with all provisions of this Order and prior court
`orders.
`The witness lists submitted to this Court as part of the pre-
`trial order shall include all of a party's potential witnesses and
`exhibits and no party shall be permitted to add to these lists
`after the pretrial order is submitted to the Court. Following the
`pretrial conference, this Court shall enter the final pretrial
`order which shall be modified only to prevent manifest injustice.

`2017, plaintiff shall file with the Clerk a final list of those
`exhibits and witnesses that he or she actually intends to use or
`call at trial. Prior to that, he shall either forward copies of the
`proposed exhibits or make them available to all other counsel for
`examination. On or before February 10, 2017 defendant shall file
`a list of proposed exhibits to be used and witnesses to be called
`at trial after having forwarded copies of them or having them
`available for examination to all other counsel. All exhibits shall
`be appropriately marked in numerical sequence (not lettered).
`Exhibit markers may be obtained from the Clerk.
`By each of the dates set forth above, each counsel shall
`tender to the Clerk two sets (preferably in binders and on disk) of
`copies of the exhibits to be used at trial. These should be indexed

`other is for use by the witness. Counsel should have their own
`copy of each exhibit and should furnish opposing counsel with a
`copy of each exhibit. Original exhibits shall be submitted to the

`appropriate portions thereto that plaintiff intends to offer in
`this case. Defendant shall do the same on or before February 10,
`2017. Before designating these discovery materials, the parties
`shall meet and agree as to the elimination of all irrelevant and
`repetitive matter, and all colloquy between counsel in the
`depositions. In addition, the parties shall, in good faith, attempt
`to resolve all objections to testimony. Any objections to the
`testimony that cannot be amicably resolved and the grounds for the
