MINUTE ORDER denying without prejudice 295 Defendant's Motion to Compel Production of Pre-Attorney-Client Relationship Communications, by Magistrate Judge Michael J. Watanabe on 12/5/2012.(mjwcd)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Civil Action No. 11-cv-01840-REB-MJW
TANYA YOUNG, on her own behalf and on behalf of others similarly situated,
Plaintiff(s),
v.
DOLLAR TREE STORES, INC.,
Defendant(s).
MINUTE ORDER
Entered by Magistrate Judge Michael J. Watanabe
It is hereby ORDERED that Defendant’s Motion to Compel Production of PreAttorney-Client Relationship Communications (docket no. 295) is DENIED WITHOUT
PREJUDICE for the following reasons.
At the Rule 16 Scheduling Conference before Magistrate Judge Watanabe on
November 27, 2012, it was determined by Magistrate Judge Watanabe that there are
approximately 30,000 putative class members who have not yet decided to either opt-in
or opt-out of this lawsuit. Judge Blackburn has extended the time for these putative
class members to make a decision to either opt-in or opt-out to January 21, 2013.
Accordingly, the Rule 16 Scheduling Conference concerning the merits of this case was
continued to February 14, 2013, at 9:00 a.m. because until this court knows the number
of plaintiffs who will be participating in this lawsuit, it would be premature to conduct a
Rule 16 Scheduling Conference on the merits. Moreover, it is premature to address the
subject motion (docket no. 295) until this court knows the total number of plaintiffs who
will be participating in this lawsuit.
Date: December 5, 2012
