Judge-Specific Procedures

 

In criminal cases, when the court issues a scheduling order, the court will also provide copies of its standard order governing the final pretrial conference and Administrative Order 434, entitled, "Standing Order Governing the Use and Submission of Electronic Evidence."  Both can be found here:

Order Governing the Final Pretrial Conference and Administrative Order 434

 

In civil cases, after a responsive pleading has been filed, Magistrate Judge Boor will hold a preliminary pretrial conference.  The "Standing Order for Preliminary Pretrial Conferences" appears below.  In counseled cases, the parties should complete a Rule 26(f) report and file it prior to the conference:

After the preliminary pretrial conference, Magistrate Judge Boor will issue a Preliminary Pretrial Conference Order.  Each order contains a link to a set of attachments for the presiding judge, including procedures on motions for summary judgment, guidance to pro se litigants, and trial procedures. The attachments can also be found here:

Magistrate Judge Boor may be available to resolve deposition disputes.  If the parties to a lawsuit believe that a deposition cannot continue unless and until the dispute is resolved, then the parties must follow the court's
