`(*) indicates a deadline that cannot be changed without showing good cause. Good cause is
`not shown merely by indicating that the parties agree that the deadline should be changed.
`
`ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
`
`Mediation: While certain cases may benefit from mediation, such may not be appropriate
`for every case. The Court ORDERS the Parties to file a Joint Notice indicating whether the case
`should be referred for mediation by December 26, 2019. As a part of such Joint Notice, the Parties
`should indicate whether they have a mutually agreeable mediator for the Court to consider. If the
`Parties disagree about whether mediation is appropriate, the Parties should set forth a brief statement
`of their competing positions in the Joint Notice
`
`Summary Judgment Motions, Motions to Strike Expert Testimony, and Daubert
`Motions: For each motion, the moving party shall provide the Court with two (2) hard copies of the
`completed briefing (opening motion, response, reply, and if applicable, sur-reply), excluding
`exhibits, in D-three-ring binders, appropriately tabbed. All documents shall be single-sided and must
`include the CM/ECF header. These copies shall be delivered to the Court within three (3) business
`days after briefing has completed. For expert-related motions, complete digital copies of the relevant

`
`
`Case 2:18-cv-00546-JRG Document 89 Filed 01/02/20 Page 6 of 6 PageID #: 4063
`
`expert report(s) and accompanying exhibits shall be submitted on a single flash drive to the Court.
`Complete digital copies of the expert report(s) shall be delivered to the Court no later than the
`dispositive motion deadline.
`
`Indefiniteness: In lieu of early motions for summary judgment, the parties are directed to
`include any arguments related to the issue of indefiniteness in their Markman briefing, subject to the
`local rules’ normal page limits.
`
`Motions for Continuance: The following excuses will not warrant a continuance nor justify
`a failure to comply with the discovery deadline:
`
`(a)
`
`(b)
`
`(c)
`
`The fact that there are motions for summary judgment or motions to dismiss pending;
`
`The fact that one or more of the attorneys is set for trial in another court on the same day,
`unless the other setting was made prior to the date of this order or was made as a special
`provision for the parties in the other case;
`
`The failure to complete discovery prior to trial, unless the parties can demonstrate that it was
`impossible to complete discovery despite their good faith effort to do so.
`
`Amendments to the Docket Control Order (“DCO”): Any motion to alter any date on the
`DCO shall take the form of a motion to amend the DCO. The motion to amend the DCO shall
`include a proposed order that lists all of the remaining dates in one column (as above) and the
`proposed changes to each date in an additional adjacent column (if there is no change for a date the
`proposed date column should remain blank or indicate that it is unchanged). In other words, the
`DCO in the proposed order should be complete such that one can clearly see all the remaining
`deadlines and the changes, if any, to those deadlines, rather than needing to also refer to an earlier
`version of the DCO.
`
`Proposed DCO: The Parties’ Proposed DCO should also follow the format described above
`under “Amendments to the Docket Control Order (‘DCO’).”
