The court denied defendant Harmon

Law Office’s request for a stay of discovery pending a
ruling on Harmon’s motion to dismiss.

Additionally, per

counsels’ request, the court is amenable to utilizing the
informal procedure for resolving discovery disputes that is
currently utilized by Chief Judge Laplante.

Accordingly,

counsel shall notify my case manager, Kathy Dupont, in the
event that they wish to resolve a discovery dispute on an
informal basis, and follow her instructions.
