SCHEDULING ORDER

MORRISON C. ENGLAND, Jr., Chief District Judge.

After reviewing the parties' Joint Status Report, the Court makes the following Scheduling Order.

I. SERVICE OF PROCESS

All named Defendants have been served and no further service is permitted without leave of court, good cause having been shown.

II. ADDITIONAL PARTIES/AMENDMENTS/PLEADINGS

No joinder of parties or amendments to pleadings is permitted without leave of court, good cause having been shown.

III. JURISDICTION/VENUE

Jurisdiction is predicated upon 28 U.S.C. sections 1332(d) and 1441(a). Jurisdiction and venue are not contested.

IV. DISCOVERY

All discovery as to Plaintiff's individual claim shall be completed by October 1, 2014. In this context, "completed" means that all discovery shall have been conducted so that all depositions have been taken and any disputes relative to discovery shall have been resolved by appropriate order if necessary and, where discovery has been ordered, the order has been obeyed. All motions to compel discovery must be noticed on the magistrate judge's calendar in accordance with the local rules of this Court.

VI. MOTION HEARING SCHEDULE

The last day to hear summary judgment motions as to individual claims shall be December 4, 2014. All papers should be filed in conformity with the Local Rules. However, the parties shall comply with the following filing deadlines:

Absent leave of the Court, all issues the parties wish to resolve on summary judgment must be raised together in one (1) motion or cross-motion. Should the parties wish to file additional motions for summary judgment, they must seek leave of the Court.

The parties are directed to the Court's website for available hearing dates. (www.caed.uscourts.gov → choose Judges → choose Judge England → choose Standard Information)

All purely legal issues are to be resolved by timely pretrial motions. Failure to comply with Local Rules 230 and 260, as modified by this Order, may be deemed consent to the motion and the Court may dispose of the motion summarily. Further, failure to timely oppose a summary judgment motion1 may result in the granting of that motion if the movant shifts the burden to the nonmovant to demonstrate that a genuine issue of material fact remains for trial.

The Court places a page limit for points and authorities (exclusive of exhibits and other supporting documentation) of twenty (20) pages on all initial moving papers, twenty (20) pages on oppositions, and ten (10) pages for replies. All requests for page limit increases must be made in writing to the Court setting forth any and all reasons for any increase in page limit at least fourteen (14) days prior to the filing of the motion.

For the Court's convenience, citations to the Supreme Court Lexis database should include parallel citations to the Westlaw database.

VII. OTHER

The parties shall file a Joint Status Report not later than thirty (30) days following the Court's ruling as to the motions for summary judgment. All other necessary dates and deadlines pertaining to class certification proceedings, including dates for the Final Pretrial Conference and Trial, will be established thereafter.

VIII. OBJECTIONS TO PRETRIAL SCHEDULING ORDER

This Pretrial Scheduling Order will become final without further order of the Court unless objections are filed within seven (7) court days of service of this Order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
