`may include fine, exclusion of evidence at trial, dismissal, default or non-suit.
`
`1. All discovery and all issues regarding discovery shall be completed at least 30 days before the trial
`date. The court may decline to entertain any issues regarding discovery after this date.
`
`2. Caseflow is directed to schedule dates for a trial management/ judicial settlement conference and for
`jury selection after October 2020. Any party may request an earlier judicial pretrial through the clerk's
`office by filing a Caseflow Request Form.
`
`3. No dispositive motions may be filed absent leave of court.
`
`This Scheduling Order CANNOT Be Modified by Agreement of Counsel and Can Only Be Modified
`Upon Motion and Order of the Court. Absent Modification of this Scheduling Order, Any Disclosures
`Not Made or Discovery Not Completed Within the Times Specified May Be Deemed Waived and
`Abandoned. 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.
`Motions for Modification Shall Be Liberally Granted, Except That Motions to Continue a Trial Date

`COMPLETE DISCOVERY.
`
`The Parties Shall Make Good Faith Efforts to Resolve Discovery Disputes Before Filing Any Motions or
`Objections Regarding Same. 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 in Accordance with Practice Book § 13-8 (c) and § 13-10 (i).
`
`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

`Remedies Available under Chapter 13 of the Practice Book.
`
`Mailed to all appearing parties.
