         1. TRIAL DATE

         a. Jury trial will begin on January 30, 2017 at 8:30 A.M. in Courtroom E, 15th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102. Should a daily transcript and/or realtime reporting be desired, the parties shall make arrangements with Debra Campbell, Court Reporter Supervisor, at (415) 522-2079 or DebraCampbell@cand.uscourts.gov, at least 14 days prior to the trial date.

         b. The length of the trial will be not more than 5 days.

         2. DISCOVERY

         a. All non-expert discovery shall be completed no later than September 13, 2016. There will be no further non-expert discovery after that date except by order of the Court for good cause shown. Motions to compel non-expert discovery must be filed within the time limits contained in Civil Local Rule 26-2.

         b. Initial expert disclosures shall be made no later than November 1, 2016. Rebuttal expert disclosures shall be made no later than November 15, 2016. All treating physicians who will provide opinion testimony beyond that which can be provided by a lay person must be disclosed as expert witnesses, but they need not prepare expert reports unless ordered to do so by the Court.

         c. All expert discovery shall be completed no later than November 29, 2016 . There will be no further expert discovery after that date except by order of the Court for good cause shown. Motions to compel expert discovery must be filed within the time limits contained in Civil Local Rule 26-2.

Rule 26(e)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires all parties to supplement or correct their initial disclosures, expert disclosures, pretrial disclosures, and responses to discovery requests under the circumstances itemized in that Rule, and when ordered by the Court. The Court expects that the parties will supplement and/or correct their disclosures promptly when required under that Rule, without the need for a request from opposing counsel.
