Defendant.
____________________________________/
On May 17, 2011, the Court and counsel met for a discovery planning conference

18

concerning electronically-stored information (“ESI”). As a result, the Court concludes: (1) The

19

parties may depose the opposing parties’ heads of information technology for the purpose of

20

identifying the location(s), storage accessibility, systems management, handling, and retention of all

21

potentially relevant ESI. Alternatively, these employees may informally meet and confer about the

22

same. (2) The parties shall continue to meet and confer with respect to an electronic discovery plan,

23

and, if one is agreed upon, they may submit it to the Court for approval. If they cannot agree on one,

24

each may submit its most “evenhanded” version to the Court, which will chose one or the other. (3)

25

Neither party may file a discovery motion without first contacting the Court for guidance on how to

26

proceed.
