The “discovery cut-off” is that date by which all responses to written discovery, including
requests for admissions, shall be due according to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and by
which all depositions shall be concluded. Counsel is advised to initiate discovery requests and
notice depositions sufficiently in advance of the cut-off date to comply with this Rule.
Discovery requests that call for responses or scheduled depositions after the discovery cut-off
will not be enforceable except by order of the Court for good cause shown. Parties shall file and
serve motions to compel discovery no later than fourteen (14) days after the discovery cut-off.
See Local Rule 37.1(h).
