(a) SCHEDULING CONFERENCE AND ORDER.
After receiving the report of the parties pursuant to LCvR 16.3(d) of these Rules, the
Court will hold a scheduling conference unless it determines, on the basis of the report,
that a conference is unnecessary. At or after the scheduling conference, or after receiving
the report of the parties where no scheduling conference is held, the Court will issue a
scheduling order governing future proceedings in accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b).
The Scheduling Order will include the limits if any on the number of interrogatories, the
number and duration of depositions, and the use of other forms of discovery. The Court
may modify the scheduling order at any time upon a showing of good cause. Objections
made to the discovery plan during the Rule 26(f) conference are to be ruled on by the
Court in the scheduling conference or order. In its ruling on the objection, the Court must
determine what disclosures if any are to be made and set the time for disclosure.
