IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Magistrate Judge Boyd N. Boland
Civil Action No. 13-cv-02158-RM-BNB
RICHARD WALL,
Plaintiff,
v.
WILLIAM RODMAN, M.D., and
ASPEN VALLEY HOSPITAL,
Defendants.
______________________________________________________________________________
ORDER
______________________________________________________________________________
Pending are Defendant’s Second Motion for Discovery Sanctions [Doc. # 48] and
defendant’s Motion to Conduct Ex Parte Meetings With Certain Treating Physicians [Doc. # 51].
I held a hearing on the motions this afternoon and took them under advisement. Factual disputes
essential to my determination of the Second Motion for Discovery Sanctions--including but not
limited to the medical records and releases provided to the defendant; the economic damages
information provided to the defendant; and the reasonableness of the plaintiff’s efforts to provide
discovery responsive to the defendant’s discovery requests--precluded me from entering an order
or recommendation on that motion. In addition, the plaintiff’s new counsel, Peter Ricciardelli,
has not had an opportunity to see or consider the motion for ex parte meetings.
IT IS ORDERED:
(1)

An evidentiary hearing to resolve factual issues concerning the discovery

provided to the defendant and the efforts by the plaintiff to provide full and complete discovery
is set for June 18, 2014, at 10:00 a.m., in Courtroom 401, 4th floor, Alfred A. Arraj United

States Courthouse, 901 19th Street, Denver, Colorado;
(2)

The plaintiff and each of his lawyers--Alon Stein, Philip J. Nathanson, David

Neal Missner, and Peter A. Ricciardelli--must be present at the hearing in person; and
(3)

The plaintiff, through Mr. Ricciardelli, shall respond to the Motion to Conduct Ex

Parte Meetings With Certain Treating Physicians [Doc. # 51] on or before May 19, 2014.
Dated May 12, 2014.
BY THE COURT:
