`
`ORDER
`
`The following order is entered in the above matter:
`
`ORDER:
`
`Scheduling Order
`
`A timely scheduling order was not filed in this matter. The following scheduling order is issued by the
`Court in this case. Failure to comply with these orders may result in sanction, which may include fine,
`exclusion of evidence at trial, dismissal, default or nonsuit.
`
`All dispositive motions shall be filed, marked ready, and argued on or before at least 120 days before the
`trial date.
`
`A certificate of closed pleadings shall be filed on or before 6/29/20.
`
`All discovery shall be completed on or before 11/26/20. The court may decline to entertain any issues
`regarding discovery after the discovery deadline date.
`
`A trial management/settlement conference is scheduled for at least 2 weeks before the trial. All counsel
`and self-represented parties shall appear at the conference and be prepared to engage in settlement
`negotiations. All clients (and insurance adjusters as applicable) shall also appear or be available by
`phone. Any party may request an earlier pretrial through by filing a caseflow request form.
`
`Jury selection or a court trial will commence on 1/13/21.
`
`The date for filing dispositive motions, completing discovery and the date for commencement of trial
`cannot be modified absent court order. Motions to continue the trial date must be supported by good
`cause because any rescheduled date may substantially delay the trial. Thus, the parties are required to
`bring any problems with the scheduling or the completion of discovery to the court's attention promptly
`through appropriate motion or conference request.
`
`The parties shall make good faith efforts to resolve discovery disputes before filing any motions or
`objections regarding same. In accordance with P.B. sec. 13-8(b) and sec. 13-10(c), no objections
`regarding interrogatories or requests for production shall be placed on the short calendar list unless an
`affidavit is filed certifying that bona fide efforts have been made to resolve the dispute.
`
`The parties are ordered to resolve all discovery disputes through motions or objections available under
`Chapter 13 of the Practice Book before the date for completion of discovery. Motions in limine, and
`motions to preclude filed at the time of trial may not be entertained by the court when directed at
`discovery issues that could have been addressed and resolved through pretrial remedies available under
`Chapter 13 of the Practice Book.

`

`A motion for continuance (Form JD-CV-21) shall be filed if the parties are seeking to change the trial
`management conference or jury selection/trial date as set forth in this order.
`
`Parties can ask to participate in a status/scheduling conference by videoconference or telephone by filing
`a Caseflow Request (Form JD-CV-116).
`
`Upon receiving the appearance of any party after the date of this notice, the Plaintiff must notify the
`newly-appearing party of the scheduling order.
`
`Judicial Notice (JDNO) was sent regarding this order.
