Judge Schofield’s First Individual Rules Require Email Reminder If Motions Not Decided in 60 Days

Judge Schofield published her first Individual Rules today, and they seem to contemplate moving cases along quickly.  The Rules state that “[m]otions will be resolved at the premotion conference to the extent possible,” and require parties to email the Court if a motion is not decided within 60 days of it being fully submitted.  Also notable is that Judge Schofield presumptively limits electronic discovery to information going back 5 years from “10 key custodians,” with a presumptive cap on the time spent collecting electronic discovery of 160 hours.
