Thomas Czwycznski et al. v. Town of Southington et al. (2011)

REVISED SCHEDULING ORDER

After discussion with counsel during a conference call earlier today, the Court has amended the scheduling orders for this case as follows:

Pleadings:  On October 21, the court overruled Defendant Southington's objection to plaintiffs' attempt to file an amended complaint, thereby making the “Third Amended Complaint” dated September 30, 2011 the operative complaint.   Southington filed a Request to Revise the operative complaint on October 24, 2011.   Counsel for Southington has expressed an interest in filing a Motion to Strike.   Since the parties are scheduled to start jury selection on January 31, 2012, and the parties obviously need to close the pleadings before that date, the court hereby orders that the pleadings shall advance every ten days until they are closed.

The plaintiffs have ten days from October 24 to object to the Request to Revise or to file a revised complaint.   If an objection is filed which does not require the filing of a revised complaint, the defendant shall have ten days from the date of the ruling sustaining the objection to file an answer or a Motion to Strike.   If plaintiffs file a revised complaint, voluntarily or by order of the court, then defendant has ten days (from either the filing of the Request to Revise or the court's ruling overruling any part of the Request) to file an answer or a Motion to Strike.   Plaintiffs' brief in opposition to any motion to strike or their reply to special defenses shall be filed within ten days thereafter.   The pleadings shall continue to advance every ten days until they are closed.

This order applies to all parties and to all claims between parties, e.g. counterclaims and/or cross-claims.

Summary Judgment:  Any Motion for Summary Judgment which any party wishes to file as to any claim shall be filed on or before December 9, 2011.   Memoranda in opposition to any Motion for Summary Judgment shall be filed on or before December 30, 2011.   The court will hear oral argument on all pending Motions for Summary Judgment on January 3, 2012 at 9:30 a.m. in Courtroom 400.

Any pleading or other document filed by any party after December 20, 2011 regarding a Motion for Summary Judgment shall be E–Mailed, with all attachments, to the undersigned at the same time that it is E-filed.   All such documents shall be in Microsoft Word format.

Discovery:  Depositions and disclosures of experts are scheduled as follows:

1. Depositions of all fact witnesses shall be completed on or before November 11, 2011.

2. Plaintiffs shall disclose their experts on or before November 22, 2011.

3. Defendants shall depose plaintiffs' experts on or before December 9, 2011.

4. Defendants shall disclose their experts on or before December 30, 2011

5. Plaintiffs shall depose defendants' experts on or before January 30, 2012.
