MEMO TO COUNSEL RE: Mandraki Inc, T/A The Broadway Diner v.
Sysco Baltimore, LLD, et al.
Civil No. JFM-16-272
Dear Counsel:
I have reviewed the memoranda submitted in connection with plaintiff’s motion for
partial reconsideration or, in the alternative, leave to amend.
Plaintiff’s motion (document 22) is treated as one for leave to amend and, as such, is
granted. I am satisfied that a factual record needs to be established before ruling upon the issues
raised by defendants in response to the motion.
A conference call will be held on June 17, 2016 at 9:45 a.m. to discuss the
appropriate schedule in this case. I ask counsel for plaintiff to initiate the call.
Enclosed is a tentative scheduling order with approximate dates for your information.
Please consult with one another before the call and be prepared to discuss whether you would
like to participate in a settlement conference either before or after the completion of discovery,
any changes to the dates in the form scheduling order, and whether there is unanimous consent to
proceed before a U.S. Magistrate Judge for all proceedings.
Also enclosed is a letter regarding a call-in hour program for the resolution of discovery
disagreements.
Despite the informal nature of this letter, it should be flagged as an opinion and docketed
as an order.
Very truly yours,
/s/

J. Frederick Motz
United States District Judge
