Other:
1: The Court was advised that responses to Plaintiffs’ discovery requests
have been provided by the Petersens. As required by Rule 37(a)(1), counsel
are to meet and confer prior to the filing of any motion challenging the
sufficiency of those responses. Defendant, Carter Properties, LLC, having
failed to respond to Plaintiffs’ written discovery requests, Plaintiffs’ motion is
granted as to it. Carter Properties is to respond to Plaintiffs’ outstanding
discovery requests within one (1) week. Plaintiffs’ request for expenses and
attorney’s fees is held in abeyance.
2: Counsel are to confer on available dates for the depositions of Defendants
in the first half of December. By the close of business on November 12, 2014,
the parties may supplement their respective submissions with respect to the
hardship that would reportedly be visited upon Defendants in having to
travel to New Orleans for their depositions. The Court will then determine
the situs of the deposition.
