- ilnd;;1:19-cv-05632_de38 RegisterActionDescriptionText "MINUTE entry before the Honorable Maria Valdez: The parties' competing status reports describe several areas of contention with respect to discovery, including Plaintiff's notice of deposition pursuant to Rule 30(b)(6). Whether or not these disputes are ripe for adjudication, the Court declines Plaintiff's invitation to consider them or rule. The status reports are not motions, and they lack any legal analysis or argument. The parties are instead ordered to continue conferring in good faith on the discovery requests and responses. The conferences must be voice to voice, not merely an exchange of correspondence or voice mails. This case is not unusual or particularly complex, and the apparently contentious nature of opposing counsels' relationship is baffling and unwarranted. Especially now, when the Court's resources are thin and frequent interactive hearings are impossible, the parties are expected to balance their advocacy with reasonableness and to resolve disputes on their own, as seasoned professionals. Both parties must approach the meet and confer process with a focus on the law governing the proper scope of discovery. If the Court is ultimately required to adjudicate discovery disputes, Rule 37(a)(5) will be strictly enforced, and sanctions will be awarded against a party who unreasonably files or opposes a motion to compel. The parties are expected to respond forthwith to any outstanding discovery requests to which there is no good faith objection. A joint status report must be filed by 6/12/20 describing the progress of discovery. The discovery deadline is set for 8/31/20, and the parties must diligently work toward completing discovery by that date. Mailed notice (lp, ) (Entered: 05/20/2020)" @default.
