ORDER:
APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL
_____ N/A – This matter is a conditions/medical/discipline case for which there is no right to counsel;
_____ N/A – The petitioner has privately retained counsel;
__x__ N/A – Eligible case, but petitioner did NOT request counsel;
_____ PENDING - The petitioner has been referred to the Office of the Chief Public Defender for
investigation of indigency and eligibility for the appointment of counsel. The results of that investigation
SHALL be communicated to the Court immediately upon completion.
NOTICE: With the exception of a motion to proceed self-represented OR the filing of a withdrawal, the
Court will not act upon any motion or pleading while an investigation for the appointment of counsel is
pending.
The following trial management and scheduling orders are hereby ordered by the Court: Compliance
with the provisions will be required of all parties.
1. Appearance of Respondent – The respondent shall file an appearance not later than forty five (45)
days from the date of this order.
2. Schedule for Filing Pleadings – The following scheduling order shall apply unless or until the parties
shall have mutually executed and filed, or the Court shall have ordered, an alternative scheduling order.
A. AMENDED PETITION
(1) Transcript necessary: Within sixty (60) days AFTER the respondent has appeared, the petitioner shall
file notice with the court indicating that transcripts of prior proceedings will be necessary and generally
describing the transcript(s) ordered, or to be ordered; AND
Upon final receipt of said transcript(s), the petitioner shall file a notice thereof with the court.
Within ninety (90) days of receipt of the final transcript(s), the petitioner shall file either: (a) an amended
petition; (b) a request for a definite period of time within which to file an amended petition; or (c) notice
that the petition will not be amended.
(2) Transcript NOT necessary: If transcripts ARE NOT necessary, then within sixty (60) days AFTER
the respondent has appeared, the petitioner shall file either: (a) an amended petition; or (b) notice that

B. THE RETURN
The respondent shall file a return, or such other pleading as may be allowed or required, within forty-
five (45) days after the filing of the amended petition or notice that the petition will not be amended.
C. REPLY to the RETURN
Any reply shall be filed by the petitioner within forty five (45) days after the filing of the return.
3. Requests for Extension of Time. A request for an extension of time to file any pleading must be filed
by motion, shall set forth in succinct terms the reasons for the request, and shall specify the particular
extension or date requested. All parties shall be on notice that a motion for extension of time filed on the
day a particular filing is due shall be considered untimely and may, in the Court’s discretion, result in the
pro forma denial of said request.
4. Responsive Pleadings, in General. Except as provided in this order, and where not otherwise provided
for in Practice Book §23-21 through §23-42, responsive pleadings shall be filed within fifteen (15) days
of the filing of the motion or pleading being responded to.
5. Certificate of Closed Pleadings/Status Conference/Trial Dates. Once either party has properly filed a
certificate of closed pleadings OR approximately six (6) months after the filing of the petition,
whichever has occurred sooner, most matters will be assigned for a formal status conference where a
formal scheduling order setting forth deadlines for the completion of discovery, disclosure of witnesses,
the filing of motions, briefing schedule (if applicable), and trial dates will be issued. The Court may
excuse those parties who have submitted mutually executed scheduling orders from attending such status
conferences.
6. Requests for Judicial Pretrials or Settlement Hearings: Unilateral demands for judicial pretrials or
settlement discussions will generally be rejected or denied. If parties believe in good faith that judicial
intervention may encourage resolution of any matter, however, a mutual request should be submitted.
Notice by mail to petitioner; email to OCSA.
