The New York [Proposed] Initial Scheduling Order (Mag. Judge Duo) is a court order issued by a magistrate judge during the early stages of litigation in order to set deadlines and procedures for the parties involved in the case. This order typically outlines the time frame for the completion of certain tasks such as the exchange of initial disclosures, discovery requests, and motion practice. It also sets deadlines for filing dispositive motions, mediation and settlement deadlines, and the scheduling of a pre-trial conference. The order is typically proposed by the magistrate judge and then adopted by the court after the parties have had an opportunity to review it and submit any objections they may have. There are two main types of New York [Proposed] Initial Scheduling Order (Mag. Judge Duo): Standard and Expedited. The Standard Order has a longer timeline for the completion of tasks while the Expedited Order has a shorter timeline.
