ANNUAL REMINDER: Pursuant to Local Rule 3.2 (Notification of Affiliates), any nongovernmental party, other than an individual or sole proprietorship, must file a statement identifying all its affiliates known to the party after diligent review or, if the party has identified no affiliates, then a statement reflecting that fact must be filed. An affiliate is defined as follows: any entity or individual owning, directly or indirectly (through ownership of one or more other entities), 5% or more of a party. The statement is to be electronically filed as a PDF in conjunction with entering the affiliates in CM/ECF as prompted. As a reminder to counsel, parties must supplement their statements of affiliates within thirty (30) days of any change in the information previously reported. This minute order is being issued to all counsel of record to remind counsel of their obligation to provide updated information as to additional affiliates if such updating is necessary. If counsel has any questions regarding this process, this LINK will provide additional information. Signed by the Executive Committee on 12/29/2022: Mailed notice. (tg, ) (Entered: 12/29/2022)

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Ronald A. Guzman: The Individual Officer Defendants' motion for leave to file an oversize motion to dismiss 48, which Plaintiffs oppose 49, is denied. Defendants are, however, given leave, by 1/13/2023, to file a 35-page motion to dismiss, which, in the Court's view, should be sufficient to develop arguments appropriate for resolution at this stage. Defendants should prioritize their arguments accordingly. Plaintiffs' response shall not exceed the page length of the Individual Defendants' motion and shall be filed by 2/13/2023; any Reply shall be filed by 3/6/2023. The briefing schedule 47 on the motion to dismiss filed by the City of Chicago and Superintendent Brown is modified as follows: by 2/6/2023, Plaintiffs shall file a response of no more than 15 pages, addressing only the Rule 12(b)(1) Argument and Section V of the Rule 12(b)(6) Argument. Any reply on those topics shall be filed by 2/24/2023. The Court may direct additional briefing on that motion. The dates the Court previously set 37 for the parties to confer and file a joint initial status report and proposed discovery plan stand. The Court does not typically stay discovery during the pendency of motions to dismiss. Mailed notice. (kp, ) (Entered: 01/06/2023)

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Ronald A. Guzman: The Court has reviewed the parties joint initial status report and proposed discovery plan and sets the following deadlines. Amendment of pleadings and joinder of parties is to be completed eight weeks before the close of fact discovery. Fact discovery shall close on 7/28/2023, except that discovery as to any Monell claims shall be bifurcated and stayed. Discovery supervision and scheduling and all discovery motions and discovery disputes, including requests for and entry of any protective orders, are referred to the magistrate judge without authority to extend the above fact discovery deadlines. The matter is also referred to the magistrate judge for any settlement proceedings or conferences. Mailed notice. (kp, ) (Entered: 01/26/2023)

Pursuant to Local Rule 72.1, this case is hereby referred to the calendar of Honorable Young B. Kim for the purpose of holding proceedings related to and all discovery disputes without authority to extend the discovery cutoff date. The referral to the magistrate judge shall also include authority to conduct a settlement conference if deemed appropriate. Mailed notice. (kp, ) (Entered: 01/26/2023)

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Young B. Kim: Parties are to proceed with fact discovery (except on Monell claims) despite the pending motions to dismiss. Parties are ordered to adhere to the following written discovery schedule: (1) exchange Rule 26(a)(1) disclosures by February 10, 2023; (2) serve written discovery requests by February 17, 2023 (requests to admit may be timely served before the end of fact discovery); (3) serve answers to written discovery requests by March 17, 2023; (4) confer about the adequacy of the discovery responses by March 31, 2023; and (5) file a joint status report identifying each side's written discovery issues (must identify the specific interrogatories and requests to produce), along with the relevant written discovery responses as exhibits, by April 7, 2023. The court will not consider general objections to written discovery requests if the court must address and rule on written discovery disputes. If the parties do not have any disputed written discovery issues, a status report is not required. Pursuant to Rule of Evidence 502(d), this court orders that inadvertent disclosures of attorney-client privileged and attorney work materials will not constitute a waiver of the associated privilege. The court further orders that upon written notification (including emails) from the opposing side that an inadvertent disclosure has occurred, the party shall return and/or destroy the materials at issue or file a motion for a determination on the claimed privilege within seven calendar days of the written notification.
