Joint Report Proposed Scheduling Discovery (Not Referred-Judge Yandle) {ILSD JRPSDNR_SMY}

JOINT REPORT OF PARTIES AND PROPOSED SCHEDULING AND DISCOVERY ORDER. This is a Southern District of Illinois form used when cases assigned to Judge Staci M. Yandle are not subject to mandatory mediation. After the Rule 26(f) conference, parties use this report to outline their agreed litigation schedule, including deadlines for initial written discovery, plaintiff and defendant depositions, and motions to amend pleadings or add third-party claims. It also requires dates for disclosing expert witnesses and written reports under Rule 26(a)(2), along with deadlines for completing all expert depositions. Parties must confirm that they discussed proportionality, cost considerations, and ESI needs, and submit an ESI protocol if appropriate. The form further sets the overall discovery cutoff and a dispositive-motion deadline 115 days before the trial month, and details procedures for resolving discovery disputes. www.FormsWorkflow.com
