ORDER REQUIRING JOINT DISCOVERY PLAN

The parties are ordered to provide a Joint Discovery Plan by March 16, 2018. The Joint Discovery Plan must be filed on the CM/ECF system as well as lodged with Magistrate Judge Schopler by emailing the Plan to efile_schopler@casd.uscourts.gov. If the Plan with its attachments exceeds 20 pages, a courtesy paper copy of the Plan must be delivered to Judge Schopler's Chambers. Because the parties addressed the issue of failure to exhaust, the Plan should offer a brief schedule to adjudicate that issue before moving on to general discovery. See Albino v. Baca, 747 F.3d 1162, 1170 (9th Cir. 2014) ("Exhaustion should be decided, if feasible, before reaching the merits of a prisoner's claim."). The Plan must identify whether and what good cause exists to modify the Court's tentative schedule of deadlines and limitations, which is as follows:

Event Deadline Defense Counsel Receiving and March 23, 2018 Serving All Grievances on File at the Institution Plaintiff's Deposition, not limited By April 6, 2018 solely to issues of exhaustion Any Motions Concerning April 20, 2018 Exhaustion or Requests for Albino Hearing Motions to Amend May 4, 2018 Expert Witness Designations and July 9, 2018 Disclosures Rebuttal Expert Witness August 10, 2018 Designations and Disclosures Expert Discovery Completion September 7, 2018 Fact Discovery Completion September 7, 2018 MSC Briefs September 14, 2018 Mandatory Settlement Conference September 21, 2018, at 2:00 p.m. Pretrial Motions October 8, 2018 Rule 26(a)(3) Disclosures January 11, 2019 Meet and Confer on the PTO January 18, 2019 Draft PTO to Defense Counsel January 25, 2019 Lodge PTO February 1, 2019 Final Pretrial Conference February 8, 2019, at 11:00 a.m. Discovery Type Restriction Depositions No more than 4 Requests for Admission No more than 15 Interrogatories No more than 15 Requests to Produce Documents No more than 15

Defense counsel is responsible for contacting plaintiff to prepare the joint discovery plan and, should plaintiff be incarcerated at the relevant time, for ensuring plaintiff's participation in any telephonic or in-person hearings.
