Nov 16, 2022 153 MINUTE entry before the Honorable M. David Weisman: Based on the joint status report most recently filed by the parties [# 152 ], the parties seek a stay of discovery to allow for private mediation. That request is denied. Fact discovery, inclusive of all depositions must be completed by 2/24/23. This date will not be adjusted barring extraordinary circumstances. Unsuccessful private mediation will not constitute an "extraordinary circumstance". The history of this case speaks for itself. Early-on, counsel assured the Court that an early settlement conference would likely resolve the case. That did not happen. (ECF # 50 , # 51 (settlement conference #1), # 52 (parties are "optimistic" as to resolving the matter), # 53 (parties are "close to resolving the matter but may need assistance from the Court"), # 54 (status report indicating that settlement discussions have been "fruitful" and suggesting that the parties have reached an "impasse on one term" that would need to be resolved to reach a settlement); # 57 (settlement conference #2 wherein parties wanted to exchange additional information before scheduling a third settlement conference); # 58 (plaintiff requests to cancel settlement conference #3, and defendant wishes to proceed with settlement conference). Those efforts at settlement consumed approximately 8 months of time, from January 2021 through August 2021. In August of 2021, the parties proposed a close of fact discovery, including depositions, of May 23, 2022, which the Court adopted. # 64 , # 65 . And then the fun began. The parties could not agree as to a protective order. # 70 . Plaintiff filed a motion for rule to show cause, and sought attorney's fees, which resulted in full-briefing and the district court's time in resolving the motion. # 74 . Defendant sought to file a supplemental and amended answer to the complaint, affirmative defenses, a counterclaim and a third-party claim. # 84 . Plaintiff objected, again necessitating the district court's time in resolving a relatively routine procedural motion. Then plaintiff filed a motion to compel certain discovery responses (# 89 ). Defendant filed a motion to compel discovery responses (# 91 ). While this Court ruled on these motions, plaintiff continued to fail to comply with its discovery obligations, eventually resulting in this Court issuing a report and recommendation sanctioning plaintiff for its discovery abuses, which was then appealed and affirmed by the district court. # 149 . The Court could go on, but we think we have made our point. This Court is not Charlie Brown, naively believing that this time Lucy will not yank the football at the very last moment, resulting in another spill for poor, trusting Charlie Brown. Enough is enough. Discovery is definitively not stayed. The schedule to resolve attorney's fees in connection with plaintiff's multiple violations of this Court's discovery orders remains in place. # 151 . Mailed notice (ao,) (Entered: 11/16/2022) (2)
Nov 15, 2022 151 MINUTE entry before the Honorable M. David Weisman: In light of the district court's order adopting this Court's Report and Recommendation as to sanctions [# 149 , # 150 ], defendant EWS is ordered to file a fee petition seeking relief consistent with the district court's order as to the appropriate scope of compensation. See ECF #150, p. 23, 24 (limiting fee award to "fees incurred in this discovery dispute," and awarding "EWS... reasonable fees incurred in litigating its motion to compel discovery responses as well as its motion for sanctions"). Said fee petition must be filed by 12/16/22. Any objections to be filed by 1/13/23, to accommodate the holiday season. If this is not sufficient time for a response, plaintiff's counsel may seek additional time. Ruling on petition/status hearing set for 2/17/23 at 9:15 a.m. All parties should be mindful that in addition to the amount of a fee award, this Court must also determine who pays the fee award (see Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(d)(3)), and therefore, this issue should be also be considered when filing the fee petition and/or in responding to the same. Mailed notice (ao, ) (Entered: 11/15/2022) (1)
