MANAGEMENT ORDER

Defendants.

The Court held a status conference with the parties on December 22, 2017.
Pursuant to the agreements reached therein,
NOW THEREFORE IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the following
supplemental deadlines and procedures will govern this litigation:
1.

Discovery related to authentication of documents shall remain open until thirty
(30) days before trial in this matter, or such other time the parties may agree upon.

SUPPLEMENTAL CASE MANAGEMENT ORDER - 1

After the resolution of dispositive motions, the parties shall meet and confer to
agree on the procedures for stipulating to the authenticity of documents intended
to be used at trial, and for discovery on documents for which authenticity cannot
be stipulated. Within ten (10) days after the resolution of dispositive motions, the
parties shall file a status update with the Court as to the parties’ negotiations on
this matter.
2.

The Court will conduct a telephonic status conference with the parties on
January 5, 2018 at 10:00 a.m., concurrent with the Telephonic Scheduling
Conference set in related Case No. 1:17-cv-00184-BLW.

submit position statements regarding the BSA Defendants’ objections to Plaintiffs’

SUPPLEMENTAL CASE MANAGEMENT ORDER - 2

6.

Discovery Disputes:
a. I will not refer this case to a magistrate judge for resolution of discovery
disputes and non-dispositive motions. I will keep these motions on my own
docket.
b. The parties will strictly comply with the meet and confer requirements of
Local Rule 37.1 prior to filing any discovery motions.
c. In addition, I will not entertain any written discovery motions until the
Court has been provided with an opportunity to informally mediate the
parties’ dispute. To facilitate that mediation, the attorneys will first contact
Molly Danahy, the law clerk assigned to this case, and shall provide her
with a brief written summary of the dispute and the parties’ respective
positions. Ms. Danahy may be able to offer suggestions that will resolve
the dispute without the need of my involvement. If necessary, an off-therecord telephonic conference with me will then be scheduled as soon as
possible. I will seek to resolve the dispute during that conference and may
enter appropriate orders on the basis of the conference. I will only
authorize the filing of a discovery motion and written briefing if we are
unable to resolve the dispute during the conference.
d.

Prior to filing any discovery motions, counsel must certify, not only that
they have complied with Local Rule 37.1, but that they have complied with
the foregoing procedures.

SUPPLEMENTAL CASE MANAGEMENT ORDER - 3
