`
`THEES, ELLEN MARIE
`
` V.
`KROBOT, DAVID J.
`
`JUDICIAL DISTRICT OF FAIRFIELD
` AT BRIDGEPORT
`

`
`ORDER
`
`The following order is entered in the above matter:
`
`ORDER:
`
`REVISED SCHEDULING ORDER
`
`In light of the interruption of jury trials due to the pandemic suspensions, the October 7, 2020 pretrial
`conference and the October 28, 2020 trial dates are marked off and the court issues the revised
`scheduling orders. Failure to comply with these orders may result in sanction, which 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.
`FURTHER CONTINUANCES OF THE TRIAL DATE MAY NOT BE ENTERTAINED BASED ON
`INCOMPLETE DISCOVERY.
`
`2. Caseflow is directed to reschedule jury selection on the next available date on the trial docket and
`schedule a trial management/judicial settlement conference at least three weeks before the trial date. Any
`party may request an earlier judicial pretrial through the clerk's office by filing a Caseflow Request
`Form.
`
`Caseflow is also directed to schedule a judicial settlement conference before Judge Jacobs after January
`15, 2020. The parties are ORDERED to confer regarding their settlement positions before the
`conference and the parties and adjusters, as applicable, are ORDERED to be immediately available
`during the conference.
`
`3. No dispositive motions may be filed absent leave of court.
`
`This scheduling order can be modified ONLY with leave of court. Because rescheduling may
`substantially delay trial, motions to continue trial must be timely filed and supported by good cause. Any
`problems regarding completing discovery must be brought 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. Affidavits must be filed in compliance with P.B. §13-8(c) and § 13-10(i), for
`objections to interrogatories or requests for production to be placed on the short calendar.
`
`All discovery disputes should be resolved through motions or objections available under Chapter 13 of
`the Practice Book before the date for completion of discovery. Motions in limine or to preclude filed at
`the time of trial may not be considered when directed to discovery issues that could have been addressed
`through pretrial remedies available under Chapter 13.
