Case Management Plan {INSD CMP}

CASE MANAGEMENT PLAN. This form is used in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana to outline and establish deadlines, procedures, and expectations for managing a civil case. This form serves as a roadmap for both the court and the parties involved, ensuring an organized and efficient litigation process. The CMP requires parties to provide information about the case, including the identities of the involved parties and their legal representatives, the basis for jurisdiction, and a summary of the plaintiff’s claims. It also sets deadlines for key pretrial activities such as initial disclosures, witness and exhibit lists, expert witness disclosures, motions to amend pleadings, and settlement discussions. The plan includes provisions for handling electronically stored information (ESI) and objections to expert testimony. The form allows parties to select a litigation track based on whether dispositive motions (such as motions for summary judgment) are anticipated. It also schedules pretrial conferences, settlement discussions, and trial dates. Furthermore, it outlines the procedures for pretrial preparation, including witness lists, exhibit numbering, deposition designations, and motions in limine. Once approved by the court, the CMP becomes a binding order, and failure to comply may result in sanctions, including dismissal of the case. The plan ensures that litigation proceeds in a structured and efficient manner, minimizing unnecessary delays. www.FormsWorkflow.com
