Julian, et al. v. Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., No. 1:17-cv-00957-AJN-BCM
Motion to Compel 30(b)(6) Designee on MetLife’s ESI

Dear Magistrate Judge Moses:
We write regarding Plaintiffs’ request for a pre-motion conference to compel a 30(b)(6)
designee on Defendant Metropolitan Life Insurance Company’s (“MetLife”) electronically stored
information (“ESI”). Plaintiffs filed this request via letter motion on February 20, 2020, Dkt No.
107, and Defendant filed a response in opposition on February 25, 2020, Dkt. No. 110. On
February 28, 2020, the Parties jointly informed the Court that they had agreed to further meet and
confer on the issues raised in their letters in order to attempt to resolve their dispute without further
need for court intervention. Dkt. No. 113.
The Parties have met and conferred and, while they have not yet fully resolved their
dispute, they are continuing their efforts to do so. Accordingly, the Parties jointly request that the
Court continue to hold Plaintiffs’ motion, Dkt. No. 107, in abeyance, and not set a date for a premotion conference until March 16, 2020. The Parties intend to inform the Court by March 13,
2020 as to whether they have resolved their dispute.
Respectfully,

/s/ David H. Tracey
