2005-11-04 14 0 Minute Entry for proceedings held before James Orenstein : Initial Conference Hearing held on 11/4/2005. SCHEDULING: The next status conference will be held on January 10, 2006, at 11:30 a.m. THE FOLLOWING RULINGS WERE MADE: (1) Plaintiff will provide detailed answers to the defendants initial three interrogatories no later than December 19, 2005. If the plaintiff seeks any form of protection against doing so (as opposed to interposing objections concurrently with providing all of the requested information), it must file a letter-motion in conformity with my individual practice rules no later than November 11, 2005. (2) After opposing counsel has reviewed the plaintiffs' responses to the interrogatories, the parties' counsel shall meet and confer and in an effort to agree to the extent possible on a joint discovery plan. The parties are directed to submit a joint report outlining the areas of agreement and dispute with respect to discovery by January 6, 2005. I will set a schedule for remaining discovery at the next conference. (3) In the interim, discovery is not stayed, but there are no deadlines for providing discovery (other than those set forth above), including with respect to any outstanding requests that were served previously notwithstanding the provisions of Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(d). Thus, the parties may provide information on consent and are encouraged to do so, but neither party has any enforceable obligation to do so prior to the next conference. (4) Mr. Hicks must appear in person at the next conference absent permission to participate by telephone, which permission he may seek after reporting on the parties' progress in agreeing on a discovery schedule at their next meeting.

2007-09-06 142 0 Minute Order. Proceedings held before Judge A. Kathleen Tomlinson: Status Conference held on 9/5/2007. SCHEDULING: The next status conference will be held on October 24, 2007. THE FOLLOWING RULINGS WERE MADE: Copies of my decisions on several of the parties' pending motions were distributed to counsel just prior to the commencement of todays status conference. The first Order issued today [DE 139] denied Plaintiff's motion for reconsideration [DE 103]. The second Order [DE 140] granted Defendants' motion to compel [DE 93] and denied Plaintiff's motions to compel [DE 94, 113, 118]. In that second Order [DE 140], I gave Plaintiff one final opportunity and directed counsel to respond to Defendants' Interrogatory No. 3 no later than September 27, 2007. Thereafter, should Defendant believe that the Interrogatory still has not been adequately and fully responded to, I directed both parties to engage in the required good faith "meet and confer" under Local Civil Rule 37.3. I informed the parties that I will be issuing a written decision early next week regarding Plaintiff's request for leave to serve an additional five interrogatories [DE 107] as well as Defendants' motion to compel production of settlement agreements [DE 124]. In light of my Order denying Plaintiff's motion for reconsideration [DE 103], I find Plaintiff's motion for an interim protective order moot [DE 113] and am thereby terminating that motion.
