Local Rule Rule 26.5: Timely Discovery

Rule 26.5. Timely Discovery The discovery deadline, whether fact or otherwise, is the date by which all responses to discovery shall be due according to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and by which all depositions shall be concluded. Counsel shall initiate discovery requests and notice depositions (including subpoenas/subpoenas duces tecum to non-parties) sufficiently in advance of the deadline to comply with this Rule. Discovery requests that call for responses or scheduled depositions after the discovery deadline will not be enforceable except by order of the Court for good cause shown. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, motions to compel discovery must be filed within the discovery period.
