=== Agenda for Civil Case Management Meeting & Proposed Case Management Plan Format ===

AGENDA FOR CASE MANAGEMENT MEETING AND PROPOSED CASE MANAGEMENT PLAN FORMAT At the Rule 26(f) Case Management Meeting, the parties shall discuss and develop a Proposed Joint Case Management Plan. This plan shall be filed with the Clerk of Court not less than ten (10) days before the Scheduling Conference and shall include individually numbered brief statements indicating: 1. The nature of the case, including the factual and legal bases of plaintiff’s claims and defendant’s defenses; 2. A list of the elements of proof necessary for each count of the Complaint and each affirmative defense and, if applicable, each counterclaim/crossclaim. For those claims in which the burden of proof shifts, each party shall list the elements that party must prove in order to prevail. The list of elements of proof must contain citations to relevant legal authority (i.e., U.S. statutory and/or administrative law, U.S. Supreme Court cases, Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals case law, Arizona state case and statutory law, and other authority as dictated by the conflict of law rules); 3. The factual and legal issues genuinely in dispute and whether they can be narrowed by stipulation or motion; 4. 5. The jurisdictional basis of the case, citing specific statutes; Parties, if any, which have not been served as well as parties which have not filed an answer or appearance. Unless counsel can otherwise show cause, the Joint Proposed Case Management Plan shall be accompanied by a proposed order dismissing any party which has not been served or appropriate pleadings seeking default judgment against any non-appearing party; 6. The names of parties not subject to the Court’s jurisdiction; 7. Whether there are further dispositive or partially dispositive issues to be decided by pretrial motions and hearings, including evidentiary hearings pursuant to Daubert and/or Fed.R.Evid. 702; 8. Whether the case is suitable for reference to a United States Magistrate Judge for all further proceedings or to a special master; 9. The status of related cases pending before other judges of this Court or before other courts; 10. Suggested changes, if necessary, in the timing, form, or requirements for disclosures under Rule 26(a), Fed.R.Civ.P., including a statement of when Initial Disclosures were made or will be made in accordance with Paragraph D above; 11. Suggested changes, if any, in the limitations on discovery imposed by Fed.R.Civ.P. 30, 31 and 33; 12. The scope of discovery, the date discovery should be completed, and whether discovery should be conducted in phases or should be limited to or focused on particular issues. For example, when potentially dispositive motions will be filed (e.g. motions for summary judgment or motions asserting a defense such as the statute of limitations), counsel should consider limiting discovery to the issue to be addressed in the motion until the Court has ruled on it; 13. The final date for supplementation of discovery is to be set two to three weeks after the close of formal discovery. Counsel are reminded of the duty pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(e) to supplement all Rule 26(a) disclosures and responses to discovery requests before the date for close of discovery or on the final date for supplementing discovery. Under no circumstances will the final date for supplementation occur after the date for filing dispositive motions. Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(a)(3) disclosures of witnesses and exhibits which may be offered at trial must be made before the close of discovery or, if agreed, on the final date for supplementation. This deadline governs and supersedes the “30 days before trial” disclosure deadline contained in Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(a)(3). Therefore, (1) failure to timely supplement Rule 26(a) disclosures, including the witnesses and exhibits for trial, (2) failure to timely supplement responses to any valid discovery request, or (3) attempts to include witnesses or exhibits in the Proposed Final Pretrial Order that were not previously disclosed in a timely manner may result in the exclusion of such evidence at trial or the imposition of other sanctions pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 37, the Local Rules of Practice for the District of Arizona, and the inherent power of the Court; 14. In addition to the deadlines mentioned above, the proposed deadlines for: (a) disclosure of experts and testimony under Rule 26(a)(2) (b) filing dispositive motions; and (c) lodging the Joint Proposed Pretrial Order; All deadlines must be provided using the Court’s form of Rule 16 Scheduling Order as a guideline in preparing the Proposed Joint Case Management Plan. If counsel cannot agree on deadlines, separate orders may be submitted for discussion at the scheduling conference; 15. Estimated date the case will be ready for trial, the estimated length of trial, and any suggestions for shortening the trial; 16. Whether a jury trial has been requested; 17. The prospects for settlement, including any request for a settlement conference before another United States District Judge or a United States Magistrate Judge, or other request for Court assistance in settlement efforts; 18. In class actions, the proposed dates for class certification proceedings and other class management issues; 19. Whether any unusual, difficult or complex issues exist which would require the case be placed on the complex track for case management purposes; and 20. Any other matters which counsel believe will aid the Court in resolving the dispute in a just, speedy, and cost-efficient manner. After the Scheduling Conference, the Court will enter a Rule 16 Scheduling Order which shall control the course of the action. To the extent that the Court’s Rule 16 Scheduling Order differs from the parties’ Proposed Joint Case Management Plan, the provisions of the Court’s Order shall control the course of the action unless modified by subsequent order of the Court. Counsel are cautioned that the deadlines established at the Scheduling Conference shall be enforced. It is the responsibility of plaintiff’s counsel or pro se plaintiff to initiate the communication necessary to schedule the initial Case Management Meeting and to prepare and file the Proposed Joint Case Management Plan and Proposed Rule 16 Scheduling Order. The documents and forms of order referenced herein shall be obtained from the Court’s website at www.azd.uscourts.gov / Judges’ Information / Orders, Forms & Procedures for the Hon. Roslyn O. Silver.

=== Civil Trial Conduct and Decorum ===

CIVIL TRIAL CONDUCT AND DECORUM These protocols are to emphasize, not to supplant, certain portions of the ethical principles applicable to the lawyer’s conduct in the courtroom and to preserve the dignity of the courtroom environs and the judicial process. They also are intended to further efficient and orderly fact-finding. It behooves all of us working in this system to attain these goals and it is hoped the following is received in that spirit. Your compliance with the following requests is expected and will be appreciated. 1. Be on time for each court session. Trial engagements take precedence over any other business. If you have matters in other courtrooms, arrange in advance to have them continued or have a colleague handle them for you. 2. During the pretrial conference, provide the courtroom deputy and judge a list including the names of all persons at counsel table. Each day before trial, provide the courtroom deputy and judge a list of witnesses to be called and exhibits to be used that day. 3. Please stand and do not pace when you address the judge, jury, or witness. 4. Stand at the podium at all times when addressing witnesses. Except upon express permission of the Court, all communications to the Court shall be made from a position at counsel table or from the podium. Counsel shall not approach opposing counsel, the bench, a witness, the court reporter’s desk or the clerk’s desk, or otherwise move from the counsel table or podium without the permission of the Court. 5. In opening statements to the jury, do not appeal to emotion or prejudice. Confine yourself to a concise summary of the important facts you expect to prove or your position on the facts that the opposition has undertaken to prove. 6. Exhibits (a) Court time may not be used for marking exhibits. This must be done in advance of the court session. Before trial, counsel should meet and agree upon exhibits which may be admitted and provide a joint list to the courtroom deputy. Counsel shall attempt to resolve any objections prior to trial. Counsel must discuss what foundation is required for any particular document or piece of evidence or whether they are stipulating to the admissibility of a document or other evidence without a witness. (b) Provide a copy of all properly marked exhibits for the judge as required by the Exhibit Procedure. (c) Sufficiently in advance of trial, counsel shall make arrangements with the courtroom deputy for the use of note boards or other visual aids so they may be set up while the court is not in session. (d) Diagrams, charts, drawings, and other demonstrative or visual evidence shall, whenever practicable, be prepared by witnesses before testifying. Effort should be made to avoid using time during the presentation of evidence for these purposes. (e) All exhibits shall be shown to, and examined by, opposing counsel prior to their being offered. (f) Hand all papers intended for the Court or witness to the courtroom deputy who will, in turn, pass them to the judge or witness. (g) Do not offer depositions wholesale; offer only relevant redacted portions of the transcript and always in accordance with Rule 32 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Plaintiff will highlight in yellow those portions it wishes to offer, and the defense will highlight in blue those portions it wishes to offer. See detailed Deposition Designation Procedures on the Court’s website at www.azd.uscourts.gov / Judges’ Information / Orders, Forms & Procedures for the Hon. Roslyn O. Silver. (h) If you intend to question a witness about a group of documents, have all the documents before the witness when you start examination. (i) Refer to this Court’s Exhibit Procedures at www.azd.uscourts.gov / Judges’ Information / Orders, Forms & Procedures for the Hon. Roslyn O. Silver for detailed information and instructions. 7. Witnesses (a) Only one attorney for each party shall examine or cross-examine each witness. The attorney stating objections, if any, during direct examination shall be the attorney recognized for cross-examination. (b) Refer to all persons, including witnesses, other counsel and parties, by their surnames and not by their first or given names. (c) In examining a witness, generally counsel shall not repeat or echo the previous testimony or answers given by a witness. (d) The examination and cross-examination of each witness shall be limited to questions addressed to the witness. Counsel shall refrain from making statements, comments, or remarks prior to asking a question or after a question has been answered. (e) Do not greet or introduce yourself to adverse witnesses. Commence your cross-examination without preliminaries. (f) Counsel shall admonish all persons at counsel table that gestures, facial expressions, audible comments or the like, as manifestations of approval or disapproval during the testimony of witnesses or at any other time, are absolutely prohibited. 8. Objections are to be limited to stating “objection,” and setting forth the basis for the objection (e.g., “leading” or “hearsay”) and/or the number of the Federal Rules of Evidence relied upon (e.g., “Objection: Rule 403”). Do not state or argue the grounds for objections in the presence of the jury unless asked to by the judge. The Court may permit a side bar conference. 9. Address all remarks to the judge, not to opposing counsel, and do not make disparaging or acrimonious remarks toward opposing counsel or the witnesses. 10. Gum chewing and reading of newspapers or magazines (except as part of the evidence in a case) are not permitted while court is in session. Similarly, all electronic devices which make noise must be turned off or muted upon entry into the courtroom. 11. Counsel should try to anticipate problems which will arise during the trial and take them up with the Court and opposing counsel out of the presence of the jury. Appropriate motions in limine in advance of trial are encouraged. If during trial it becomes necessary for an attorney to confer with the Court at the bench, the Court’s permission should be obtained. 12. Counsel shall not make motions (e.g., a motion for mistrial) in the presence of the jury. Such matters may be raised at the first recess. 13. Offers of, or requests for, a stipulation should be made privately, not within the hearing of the jury. 14. Professionalism and civility are not aspirational but mandatory.

=== Deposition Designation Procedure ===

DEPOSITION DESIGNATIONS Parties must submit the deposition designations by the deadline established by Court order. Parties must submit paper copies of the deposition designations in compliance with the following rules: 1) Plaintiffs must highlight in yellow the portions they wish to offer. 2) Defendants must highlight in blue the portions they wish to offer. 3) If either party objects to the proposed testimony, the objections must be placed next to the proposed testimony in the margins. The objections must be as specific as possible, identifying the Rule of Evidence, Court order, or other basis for the exclusion. Generic objections are not appropriate. Objections should identify the basis for an objection but should not make argument. The following examples present correct and incorrect objections. Incorrect: “Relevance” Correct: “Relevance, Rule 402” Incorrect: “Motion in Limine” Correct: “Court Order 12/1/10, Doc. 39.” Incorrect: “Based on Smith v.

For example: Objection: Hearsay, Rule 802. Incorrect: “Exception.” Correct: “Not offered for the truth. Offered to show intent. Rule 801.” Incorrect: “Exception.” Correct: “Business record exception under Rule 803(6).” The Court will issue its rulings no later than the morning of the trial day that the designation is scheduled to be used.

=== Discovery Dispute Instructions ===

DISCOVERY DISPUTES Pursuant to Local Rule 7.2(j) and the Court’s Rule 16 Scheduling Order, counsel and any pro se parties must personally meet and confer and make all reasonable efforts to resolve a discovery dispute prior to contacting the Court. GENERALLY, NO MOTIONS CONCERNING THE DISPUTE ARE PERMITTED TO BE FILED. 1. If unable to resolve a discovery dispute, do not file a motion unless directed by the Court. 2. Each party is required to provide the Court with written certification that there has been compliance with Rule 7.2(j) and the Rule 16 Scheduling Order. 3. File and e-mail to chambers ([email protected]) a joint statement of the dispute. This joint statement is not to exceed 14 lines per issue for each party unless an enlargement has been approved by the Court. 4. The filed/faxed document will be reviewed, and either an order will issue or a hearing will be set with the parties receiving notice via the Court’s electronic filing system.

=== Exhibit Procedure ===

EXHIBITS – MARKING, LISTING, AND CUSTODY for United States District Court Judge Roslyn O. Silver Judge Code: 7022 Exhibits shall be prepared by counsel or the parties, if pro se, and delivered to the courtroom deputy AT LEAST 48 HOURS IN ADVANCE OF TRIAL or any such time as the Court orders. USE OF LABELS/COVER SHEET 1. Exhibit cover sheets and labels are divided by color to indicate whether the exhibit is offered by Plaintiff (YELLOW) or Defendant (BLUE). Cover sheets are available on the Court’s website under “Judges’ Information”. If counsel needs adhesive labels for demonstratives or photographs, they shall contact the courtroom deputy PRIOR to trial. 2. Exhibit cover sheets shall be copied on yellow or blue paper and used in cover sheet fashion to identify standard size paper exhibits (Including standard size paper photographs). The cover sheet shall be stapled to the top of the original exhibit, and the exhibit shall be placed in a manilla folder numbered to correspond with the exhibit number only. 3. If the exhibit is a photo (i.e. 4 x 6, 5 x7), use adhesive labels on the back of the photo, and place in the manilla folder with the corresponding exhibit number. 4. Large or bulky items may require the use of tie tags with the exhibit label placed on the tag or may be marked in a logical location on the item or on the plastic bag containing the item. 5. Charts used for demonstration should be identified in the lower right hand corner with an exhibit label or on the reverse side of the chart. If the item is an enlargement of another marked exhibit, it should be numbered as a sub-part of the smaller exhibit (i.e. 1a, 2a). 6. During trial, always advise the courtroom deputy in advance which exhibits will be needed for each witness. If you are only using electronics to display the exhibits, this is not necessary. Paper copies of the exhibits are still required as listed above, should the witness need to see the hard copy of the exhibit and to provide to the jury during deliberations. NUMBERING 1. Blocks of numbers are used by each side; Plaintiff uses numbers 1 thorough the estimated number of exhibits. Defendant is given numbers starting after Plaintiff but allowing space for additional exhibits marked during trial (example: Plaintiff 1-80 and Defendant 100- ). Parties shall work with each other on determining the blocks of numbers to be used. Failure to comply with this directive will result in exhibits being properly remarked by counsel. 2. Plaintiff and Defendant shall consult regarding marking exhibits to AVOID MARKING DUPLICATES. If Plaintiff(s) marks a document, Defendant(s) should not mark the same document. The exhibits are considered Court exhibits, not Plaintiff's or Defendant's exhibits. Either side may move the other's exhibits into evidence. 3. Use NUMBERS ONLY except when identifying sub-parts; i.e., 3a, 3b, 3c. If the sub- parts will be more than a - z, commence with another number; i.e., 4a, 4b, 4c. Categorizing exhibits should be kept as simple and clear as possible. For the most part, USE NUMBERS. The exhibit list shall list each subpart individually for marking in evidence, unless moving to admit the exhibit as a whole. 4. Multiple page exhibits should have each page marked for easy reference and should be stapled or ACCO fastened; please do not use paper or binder clips. In bulky documents, BATES stamp numbers may be placed on each page, at the bottom right corner, and can be continuous numbering. 5. Blocks of numbers may be used to categorize exhibits; i.e, series 1-99 are Bank Records; series 100-199 are Tax Returns; series 200-299 are photographs; series 300-399 are Miscellaneous. The exhibit list will break down the categories and should be tabbed accordingly. If the parties anticipate admitting parts of an exhibit, then those parts shall be identified with a subpart and marked accordingly, including on the exhibit list. USE OF FOLDERS 1. Place exhibits loose in folders so that the exhibit may be pulled out of the folder during trial. DO NOT attach the exhibit to the file folder. Label the top of the folder to identify the exhibit number. 2. If there are many folders, place them in a box in numerical order. Mark the outside of the box with the exhibits contained therein. Leave room in the box for any extra exhibits that may be submitted during trial. 3. DO NOT PLACE TRIAL EXHIBITS IN BINDERS except when the binder is considered ONE exhibit. Mark the binder with an exhibit label in the lower right-hand corner. JUDGE’S COPIES 1. Judge’s copies of the exhibits shall be provided in a binder that is tabbed by exhibit number. No exhibit tags are needed on the judge's binders or set of exhibits. Mark the binder with what exhibits are contained in that particular binder. Notification on the front and side of the binder is helpful to the Court. EXHIBIT LISTS 1. Exhibits shall be listed on the exhibit list provided or reproduced on a word processor, so long as it follows the same format as listed on the Court’s website. Be sure to leave enough space at the end of the list to add additional exhibits marked during trial. The exhibit number and description should begin at the top of each block. 2. Provide the courtroom deputy with the original and two copies of the exhibit list along with the delivery of the exhibits. Email copies of the lists in Word format to [email protected]. WITNESS LISTS 1. Witnesses shall be listed on the witness list provided or reproduced on a word processor, so long as it follows the same format. Witnesses should be listed in alphabetical order unless otherwise ordered by the Court. Names should be at the top of the block and extra blank spaces included at the end. This is needed when names have to be added that are not on the list. 2. Provide the courtroom deputy with the original and two copies of the witness list along with the delivery of the exhibits. Email copies of the lists in Word format to [email protected]. SENSITIVE EXHIBITS 1. Pursuant to General Order 98-07 dated July 30, 1987, "The arresting or investigative agency or designated representative shall retain custody of sensitive exhibits prior to, throughout, and after the trial. Sensitive exhibits shall include drugs and drug paraphernalia, guns and other weapons, money and any other exhibits designated as sensitive by the Court." 2. The courtroom deputy will not take custody of any sensitive exhibits. During lengthy breaks and at close of the day, these exhibits are returned to the government (usually the agent) until court resumes. IMPEACHMENT EXHIBITS 1. Impeachment exhibits are given to the courtroom deputy the first day of trial, in a SEALED envelope, not the day a witness testifies. The envelope shall be marked with the caption of the case and Plaintiff/Defendant impeachment exhibits. If there is more than one exhibit in the envelope, mark each one with a SEPARATE NUMBER so you (and the clerk) will be able to identify it. Identify these exhibits with a numbering system of your own for easy retrieval and the courtroom deputy will assign the next available number in the block of numbers, when the exhibit is used. Additional copies for the Court and opposing side are to also be included in the envelope should the exhibit be used. STIPULATED EXHIBITS 1. In civil trials, counsel or the parties may agree on most of the exhibits prior to trial and as listed in the pretrial order. Counsel and the parties may give the courtroom deputy a list of the stipulated exhibits to be marked in evidence before moving for their admission. The stipulation shall also be filed on the docket. 2. In criminal trials, stipulated exhibits usually are admitted one at a time during the course of trial. If the parties do stipulate to the admission of exhibits prior to trial, the parties are to provide a list to the courtroom deputy and file a stipulation on the docket prior to trial. The exhibit numbers will be read into the record for the jury. 3. All exhibits stipulated will be admitted and provided to the jury whether or not they are used during trial. DEPOSITIONS 1. Depositions ARE NOT marked as exhibits. Identify them as plaintiff/defendant (so they will be returned to the correct party after trial), place them in alphabetical order and give them to the courtroom deputy the morning of the first day of trial. MEDICAL OR TECHNICAL TERMS 1. Provide a list of medical or technical or complex terms for the court reporter at least five days prior to the trial commencing. (See “Notice to the Court Reporter”) RETURN OF EXHIBITS 1. Pursuant to LRCiv 79.1(a), all exhibits are returned to respective counsel or the parties to keep custody of pending all appeals. If exhibits are not retrieved by counsel or the parties within 30 days of the Notice of Return of Exhibits, LRCiv 79.1(c), the courtroom deputy may destroy or otherwise dispose of them. 2. Usually, trial exhibits are returned immediately to counsel or the parties upon conclusion of trial. Counsel or the parties will sign for returned exhibits. When a case is taken under advisement and a verdict or court ruling issues at a later date, a separate order will follow directing counsel or the parties to retrieve exhibits from the courtroom deputy. If you have any questions or need more exhibit labels, please e-mail [email protected] or call 602-322-7134. Please note the courtroom deputy is away from his desk when in court and responses are generally received quicker by email.
