`
`The foregoing, having been considered by the Court, is hereby:
`
`ORDER:
`
`SCHEDULING ORDER
`
`The parties’ proposed scheduling order is hereby approved and adopted as follows. Failure to comply
`with these orders may result in sanction, which may include fine, exclusion of evidence at trial,
`dismissal, default or non-suit.
`
`It is hereby ordered that by the agreed dates all discovery shall be completed. The court may decline to
`entertain any issues regarding discovery after the discovery cut off date.
`
`Any motion for summary judgment shall be heard on the court's oral argument docket on or before
`October 5, 2020 at 9:30 a.m.
`
`Jury selection is scheduled to commence on February 2, 2021 at 9:30 a.m. Caseflow shall schedule a
`trial management/final judicial settlement conference in December 2020. 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 immediately available by
`telephone. Any party may request an earlier judicial pretrial through the clerk's office by filing a
`caseflow request form.
`
`The Court Also Issues the Following Additional Orders.
`
`This Order Cannot Be Modified By Agreement of Counsel And Can Only Be Modified With Leave of
`Court. Motions to Continue a 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
