PROCEEDINGS: Preliminary Pre-Trial Conference

* The Court requested that the parties review their positions on the protective order and to try to resolve the confidentiality issues. If the parties reach an agreement, they are to notify chambers by December 9, 2007. If necessary, the parties should contact chambers to arrange for a telephone conference. * The Court scheduled another preliminary pre-trial conference for January 10, 2008, at 9:30 a.m. The parties should be prepared to discuss discovery issues, including whether discovery should be staged according to issue, and whether the cases should be treated alike. The parties also should be prepared to discuss whether good cause exists for a protective order. * Counsel for Mr. Bray was directed to prepare a separate case management report with Odyssey, and to explore whether early mediation is an option.
