I. PROCEDURAL HISTORY
A. Case Filed
Plaintiff originally filed this cause of action on _______________, _____, 20___. Defendant was served and timely filed its Answer on _____________, _____, 20___. The case was assigned to The Honorable ______________.
B. Court-Ordered Deadlines
By Order signed ________________, ____, 20____, ___________________ directed the parties to “convene a litigation planning meeting pursuant to Rule 26(f), Fed. R. Civ.

The parties met, and filed a Proposed Litigation Planning Report on ____________, ____, 20____ that was signed by attorneys for each party. In this Proposed Litigation Planning Report, the proposed deadline for initial disclosures was _________________, _____, 20____. In the Scheduling Order issued by the Court on _______________, ____, 20____, the deadline for exchanging disclosures under Rule 26(a) was ________________, ____, 20____, as proposed by the parties in the Proposed Litigation Planning Report.
C. Respondent Failed to Provide Rule 26(a)(1) Disclosures
Despite having proposed this date as the deadline for exchanging Rule 26 (a) disclosures, Respondent did not file Respondent’s disclosures by the deadline. Movant timely filed its Initial Disclosures required by F.R.C.P. 26(a) on _________________, ____, 20____. In addition, Movant filed Supplemental Disclosures on _______________, ____, 20____.

Respondent’s interrogatory answer regarding persons with knowledge has never been supplemented or amended in the almost two and a half years since it was tendered, and Respondent has obviously never supplemented her 26(a)(1) disclosures, since Respondent never provided them in the first place.
F. Respondent Failed to File or Exchange Pretrial Disclosures
Under this Court’s Scheduling Order, the Pretrial Disclosures required by Rule 26(a)(3) were initially due on _______________, ____, 20___. Although Movant filed its required Pretrial Disclosures...
