No. 3-11-1033
Consolidated with Nos. 3-11-1098
and 3-11-1170

ORDER
The plaintiff's motion to admissions pro hac vice (Docket Entry No. 118) is GRANTED.
Debra J. Wyman and Francis A. DiGiacco are hereby admitted to practice in this case on
behalf of the plaintiff.
The Clerk is directed to enter the same address and telephone number for Francis A.
DiGiacco as already listed on the docket for Debra J. Wyman.
The plaintiff's motion to set case management conference (Docket Entry No. 121) is
GRANTED in part to the extent that a case management conference will not be scheduled on
June 14, 2013, but rather, for the reasons explained by the HCA defendants in their opposition

(Docket Entry No. 122), the case management conference is scheduled on Tuesday, July 23, 2013,
at 11:00 a.m., in Courtroom 764, U.S. Courthouse, 801 Broadway, Nashville, TN.
The stay of discovery, imposed in the order entered May 15, 2012 (Docket Entry No. 88), is
LIFTED.
The parties are encouraged to agree upon an expedited schedule for production of requested
documents and, to the extent feasible, begin producing such documents prior to July 23, 2013, even
if formal discovery requests have not been served. However, the defendants are not required to
produce documents without a formal discovery request and the Court notes that there is sufficient
time for the plaintiffs to serve discovery requests for which responses could be due prior to the
July 23, 2013, case management conference.
Prior to the case management conference, counsel for the parties shall confer and prepare a
proposed, joint case management order, including the parties' respective theories of the case, issues
resolved and in dispute, proposed scheduling for the remaining progression of the case, and any other
relevant matters provided in Local Rule 16.01(d)(1)(c) and 16.01(d)(2). If the parties anticipate
discovery of electronically stored information, they shall include in the proposed initial case
management order the methodology for such discovery. See Administrative Order No. 174, entered
July 9, 2007.
Counsel shall e-file the proposed order prior to the initial case management conference.
All counsel appearing at the initial case management conference shall bring with them their
calendars and be cognizant of the calendars of any attorneys not appearing at the initial case
management conference whose schedules are relevant to the scheduling in this case.
It is so ORDERED.
JULIET GRIFFIN
United States Magistrate Judge
