ORDER
The defendants have moved for a protective order prohibiting the plaintiff from taking the
deposition of a corporate representative at a date, time, and place unilaterally selected by the
plaintiff, namely, Friday, August 31, 2012, at 9 a.m. More substantive objections to the notice of
deposition are also asserted. Also pending is the defendants’ motion to compel. The motion for a
protective order is granted in part. Document #16. The deposition will not go forward on August
31, 2012, due to defense counsel’s availability. The discovery deadline will be extended so that
discovery can be completed. The lawyers are ordered to meet in person and to discuss in good faith
what discovery is needed for each party to prepare for trial. Part of that discussion must include an
effort to resolve the discovery disputes reflected in the pending motions. The discussion must also
include an attempt to agree as to who will be deposed, and when and where the depositions will take
place. Finally, the discussion must include an attempt to agree on a new discovery deadline and any
other deadlines that may need to be adjusted. This face-to-face meeting must occur within twentyone days from the entry of this order. Within fourteen days after the meeting, the parties must
submit a joint report regarding the matters to which they have agreed and separate reports stating
their respective positions on matters as to which they have not reached agreement.
