vs.

Defendant.
ORDER
In the supplemental report of the parties’ planning meeting, the parties have
advised that they “do not believe that this case is one requiring any ESI discovery, other
than location and reviewing emails related to the Plaintiff or any comparators identified
by Plaintiff or any disciplinary records maintained in an electronic form by Defendant.”
(Doc. 12.) The parties further advise that any and all such relevant ESI will be produced
either in “pdf” format or paper printout. (Id.) And although the parties make no further
statement regarding the costs of production of ESI, the general tenor of the
supplemental report (see id.) leads the undersigned to conclude that those costs will be
borne by the producing party. The foregoing “agreements” are hereby incorporated into
the Rule 16(b) Scheduling Order entered on April 11, 2013 (Doc. 10).
DONE and ORDERED this 26th day of April, 2013.
s/WILLIAM E. CASSADY
UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
