ORDER re: discovery issues. Signed by Judge Joan G. Margolis on 2/23/2012. (Rodko, B.)

UMBACH V. CARRINGTON INVESTMENT PARTNERS (US), LP ET AL., 08 CV 484 (EBB)
2/23/12 – An impromptu telephonic discovery conference was held today to discuss, inter
alia, the discovery issues raised in counsel’s cursory letters to this Magistrate Judge,
dated February 16-17, 2012.
By agreement of counsel, on or before 3/9/12, plaintiff’s counsel will send a more
detailed letter to this Magistrate Judge (with copy to opposing counsel); on or before
3/16/12, defense counsel will send his letter in response (with copy to opposing
counsel); and on or before 3/23/12, plaintiff’s counsel will send a reply letter (with
copy to opposing counsel). If plaintiff’s counsel does not intend to send a reply letter, he
should advise this Magistrate Judge’s Chambers (and opposing counsel), as quickly as
possible.
By further agreement of counsel, due to these outstanding discovery issues, the deadline
for the completion of depositions of all fact witnesses is hereby extended from 3/30/12
(see Dkt. #148) until 4/30/12, without prejudice to any party seeking additional time due
to scheduling conflicts of counsel or the deponents.
