The parties shall confer about entry of a confidentiality order in this case using the Northern District' ;s Model Confidentiality Order as a base or guide in an effort to resolve any disagreements without court action. If the parties are unable to reach consensus, they should submit their respective proposed orders to the Court, in accordance with the p rocedure described on Magistrate Judge Gilbert's website, each with a brief cover memorandum explaining why their respective proposed order should be entered rather than their opponent's order. All parties shall make their Rule 26(a)(1) di sclosures by December 7, 2015. Defendant Community Health Systems, Inc.'s Rule 26 disclosures are without prejudice to its pending Rule 26(b)(2) motion. The parties also shall meet and confer in-person and then submit a joint discovery plan pu rsuant to Rule 26(f) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure on or before December 14, 2015. That plan should address, among the other topics mentioned in Rule 26(f), proposed dates for the service of written discovery, the identities of the people each party believes it will depose and, if possible, dates for those depositions, an expert discovery schedule if any party will be disclosing Rule 26(a)(2) experts, and dates for the close of fact and expert discovery. The parties' submission should note any disagreements with any aspect of the plan and the parties' respective positions in that regard. This matter is set for a further status hearing on December 17, 2015, at 1:30 p.m., for discussion of a discovery plan. Signed by the Honorable Jeffrey T. Gilbert on 11/16/2015. Mailed notice (ber, )
