| Oct 3, 2023 | 142 | TEXT ORDER: In its discretion, the Court may stay discovery as an exercise of its inherent authority to manage its docket. See Gerald Chamales Corp. v. Oki Data Americas, Inc., 247 F.R.D. 453, 454 (D.N.J. 2007) (Magistrate Judges have broad discretion to manage their docket and to decide discovery issues, including whether to stay discovery pending a decision on a dispositive motion.). The parties in this case have repeatedly failed to meet and confer in good faith, resulting in unnecessary expenditure of judicial resources. As just one example, see ECF No 139, in which counsel for Kitchinventions, LLC notes its repeated attempts to confer with counsel for Best Brands Consumer Products, Inc. All discovery in this case is STAYED pending further order of Court. All deadlines for Markman Hearing briefing are STAYED pending further order of the Court. The status conference scheduled for October 4, 2023, at 10:30 a.m., is adjourned. The parties are reminded that they must comply with the Text Order at ECF No. 136, which directs the parties to appear in person before the Honorable Evelyn Padin, U.S. District Judge, on November 1, 2023.
