During Your Special Master Process

7. As soon as possible after your Initial Conference, obtain signed copies of your Scheduling Order, any Confidentiality Order, or any other necessary Pre-Trial Orders and send them to Ms. Chaky as paper-based copies or PDFs.

[FYI: In Special Master work, Mr. Bayer regularly works with the lawyers to develop the orders to fit the case. Some of them are pretty barebones. Some orders are highly detailed. Some cases need a Confidentiality Order, some don't. Some need an Electronic Discovery Order, some don't. Whatever your case requires, it is the lawyers’ responsibility to obtain and transmit your signed orders to our office.]

8. Schedule and attend any teleconferences or in-person hearings to resolve issues that come up after your Initial Conference. Schedule these kinds of teleconferences or in-person hearings with Ms. Chaky.

If you have filed pleadings, briefs or evidence with the Clerk that you believe to be essential to Mr. Bayer’s review and subsequent recommendations, it is your responsibility to confirm with Ms. Chaky that Mr. Bayer has, in fact, received these documents.

If you want written records of teleconferences or in-person hearings, you will need to arrange for a court reporter.

9. After your hearing, Mr. Bayer will make his report and recommendations as agreed in the Initial Conference and required by the appointing Court’s Rules of Procedure.
