MEMO TO COUNSEL RE: John and Carolyn McNulty v. Robert Casero, Jr. and
Catherine Mary Hattenburg
Civil No. JFM-16-2426
Dear Counsel:
I have reviewed the memoranda submitted in connection with plaintiffs’ motion for
protective order. The motion (document 37) is granted.
A conference call will be held on August 29, 2017 at 5:00 p.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
