`
`The Parties agree to meet and confer promptly regarding a
`
`confidentiality agreement, search terms, custodians, the form of production of
`
`electronically stored information and arrangements for any discovery to be taken
`
`from the parties’ agents and advisors.
`
`3.
`
`Production of documents shall commence on a rolling basis upon
`
`receipt of requests for production.
`
`4.
`
`Prior to production, the parties shall use their best efforts to de-
`
`duplicate any electronic material collected (including identical material transmitted
`
`between or among multiple custodians.). All documents produced shall be produced
`
`in electronic form, in accordance with specifications agreed upon by the Parties.
`
`5.
`
`Privilege logs need not include privileged documents that were
`
`created or sent after the date the litigation was filed. The parties need not log
`
`documents produced in redacted form.
`
`6.
`
`Depositions shall be taken on reasonable notice, and the Parties
`
`shall work together in good faith on the scheduling of depositions.
`
`7.
`
`Any party intending to file a motion for summary judgment shall
`
`file a letter no longer than five pages, double-spaced, setting forth the factual and
`
`legal bases for the motion. Within five business days after the filing of such a letter,
`
`the party against whom summary judgment would be sought may submit a response
`
`no longer than five pages, double-spaced, stating why leave to move for summary
`
`3
`
`
`
`judgment should be denied. The Court will then determine whether to grant leave to
`
`file a motion for summary judgment. If leave is granted, the Court will further
`
`determine whether the trial dates should be removed from the calendar to permit
`
`time to resolve the summary judgment motions.
`
`8.
`
`Any witness for trial pursuant to subparagraph 1(h) who has not
`
`previously been deposed in this action shall be made promptly available for
`
`deposition. Following the identification of trial witnesses, any Party may designate
`
`additional party witnesses for trial by agreement of the Parties or for good cause
`
`shown upon motion to the Court.
`
`9.
`
`The Parties shall work together to create a single set of trial
`
`exhibits without duplication, organized chronologically to the extent practicable, and
`
`to cite to them in their pre-trial briefs.
`
`10.
`
`The Parties may amend the dates set forth herein by written
`
`agreement, without Court approval, except that the dates for the submission of the
`
`pretrial order, the pre-trial conference date, and the trial date may be amended only
`
`by order of the Court.

`SO ORDERED this _____ day of ___________, 2023.
