What is the deadline to submit the discovery plan to the court after the conference?

• A. Seven Days
• B. Fourteen Days
• C. Thirty Days
• D. Sixty Days

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is the timing requirement set after the Rule 26(f) conference. Once counsel have conferred to discuss discovery, they must submit a discovery plan to the court within fourteen days. This brief window keeps the process moving and lets the court start shaping the discovery schedule, address anticipated issues, and set deadlines early on. The other intervals—seven, thirty, or sixty days—are not the standard under the federal rule. Local rules can vary, but fourteen days is the typical federal deadline.
