| Aug 28, 2024 | 131 | TEXT ORDER: The Court is in receipt of the parties' August 27, 2024 letter, indicating the unavailability of certain counsel for the September 4, 2024 in-person meet and confer 130 . The alternative dates provided by the parties are not conducive to the Court's schedule.

| Aug 27, 2024 | 129 | TEXT ORDER: The Court has reviewed the parties' August 26, 2024 joint discovery dispute letter [D.E. 128]. The Court is not satisfied that the parties have exhausted their meet-and-confer efforts, and finds that further such efforts may benefit the parties and Court by narrowing the myriad disputes down. That conclusion draws, in part, from the fact that well over twenty RFPs remain in dispute, as well numerous interrogatories. Further, the parties had previously advised the Court they believed they had made progress in their meet-and-confer efforts. However, the joint letter does not reflect much progress. Accordingly, counsel shall appear in the Courtroom of the Undersigned on September 4, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. to continue their meet-and-confer efforts in person. Counsel shall be prepared to meet and confer until the earlier of: (1) complete resolution of all disputes, or (2) 4:30 p.m. at which time the Court will address the remaining disputes. The telephone conference on September 4th at 4:30 p.m. is cancelled in view of the in-Court meet and confer. So Ordered by Magistrate Judge Michael A. Hammer on 8/27/2024.
