Dass v. The City University of New York et al

Filing 131

ORDER: The Court spent an inordinate amount of time combing through the minutiae of the parties' document discovery disputes, even after numerous in-person and telephonic conferences concerning the breadth and scope of Plaintiff's reque sted discovery. The majority of these requests sought discovery that was not proportional to the needs of the case. If the parties continue to require Court intervention at this level to resolve their voluminous discovery disputes, the Court may e nter an Order under Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(a)(5) requiring expenses paid for failures to make disclosures or cooperate in discovery. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(a)(5)(C) ("If the motion is g r anted in part in part and denied in part, the court may is sue an protective order authorized under Rule 26(c) and may, after giving an opportunity to be heard, apportion the reasonable expenses for the motion"). For the requests for which limited production or review was directed, Defendants shall make rolling productions and must complete productions by June 6, 2022. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Ona T. Wang on 5/10/2022) (rro)
