FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI
GREENVILLE DIVISION
JAMAAL ROBINSON, Individually and on
Behalf of PAYTON HERRING, a Minor
v.

PLAINTIFF
CIVIL ACTION NO. 4:13CV00066-NBB-JMV

CITY OF RULEVILLE., ET AL.,

DEFENDANTS
ORDER

Today the court conducted an in-person status conference with counsel for the parties in
response to Defendants’ Emergency Motion to Quash a 30(b)(6) deposition notice [55]. Consistent with
the oral ruling of the court during the conference, the motion is granted in part and denied in part as
expressly outlined by the court during said conference.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that because the court determined that attorneys for Plaintiff
failed to confer in good faith to resolve the issues that made the basis of the motion to compel, in direct
contravention of this court’s express order during a prior status conference on 1/22/14 and the Local
Rules, sanctions shall be awarded against counsel for Plaintiff in the form of the reasonable fees and
expenses of defense counsel in preparing the motion to quash, attending today’s conference, and
traveling to and from the conference. Counsel for Defendant shall file an affidavit of itemized fees and
expenses within fourteen (14) days of this date. Counsel for Plaintiff may file any response to defense
counsel’s affidavit within seven (7) days of the filing of the affidavit.
THIS 30th day of January, 2014.
