SONDRA WILLIAMSON, Plaintiff(s), v. HARTFORD LIFE AND ACCIDENT INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendant(s).
ORDER
[DOCKET NO. 17]
NANCY J. KOPPE, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Pending before the Court is the parties' discovery plan seeking special scheduling review. Docket No. 17. The discovery plan does not sufficiently explain why a motion to transfer should be filed three months from now after any discovery is underway, see id. at 2-3, since such motions are typically considered early in the case, e.g., Hamilton Int'l Ltd. v. Vortic LLC, 414 F.Supp.3d 612, 623 (S.D.N.Y. 2019). The discovery plan also violates the local rules by providing the signature block for judicial approval on a separate page. See Local Rule IA 6-2. Accordingly, the discovery plan is DENIED without prejudice. An amended discovery plan must be filed by July 25, 2023.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
