2014-05-19 108 0 TEXT ORDER re: 106 plaintiff's letter motion and 107 defendants' letter brief in opposition. On 5/19/2014, the court conducted an expedited, stenographically-recorded conference regarding several discovery issues raised by plaintiff. The court considered the letter briefs of the parties, the prior submissions of the parties in support of plaintiff's motion to stay consideration of his motion for class certification (Dkt. Nos. 98 , 99 , & 103 ), Judge McAvoy's Decision and Order denying the motion to stay (Dkt. No. 105 ), and the arguments of counsel during the conference. For the reasons stated on the record during the conference, plaintiff's application to compel disclosure of further discovery from the O'Toole litigation is DENIED, without prejudice to renewing such discovery demands following resolution of the pending motions for summary judgment and class certification. Plaintiff's application for leave to file a motion to compel follow-up discovery relating to the Rule 30(b)(6) deposition of Scott Glenn is GRANTED. Plaintiff may file a letter motion of five pages or less by 5/28/2014, and defendants may file a responsive letter brief (with the same page limit) by 6/13/2014. (The page limit does not apply to supporting documentation, which should include the notice for the Rule 30(b)(6) deposition and a transcript of the Scott deposition.) In the alternative, plaintiff may forego the option of filing such motion to compel at this time, without prejudice to renewing the motion following resolution of the pending motions for summary judgment and class certification. So Ordered by U.S. Magistrate Judge Andrew T. Baxter on 5/19/2014. (mae) (Entered: 05/19/2014)
