- ilnd;;1:11-cv-00524_de83 RegisterActionDescriptionText "MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey T. Gilbert: Motion hearing held on Plaintiffs' Motion to Amend Protective Order 76 . For the reasons stated in open court, the Motion is denied without prejudice. The Court strongly encourages the parties to coordinate discovery in this case with other cases pending against Defendant Portfolio Recovery Associates around the country, that involve claims similar to those in the instant case, in the interest of the efficient and economical litigation of all these cases in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The relief Plaintiffs in this case request in their Motion, however, which would allow them to share with plaintiffs in other cases documents and information designated in this case as confidential, is an incomplete step toward achieving such coordination because this Court lacks the authority to order the reciprocal sharing of information produced in the other pending cases with plaintiffs in this case. Further, there are other procedural tools available to plaintiffs in all the pending cases that can facilitate the simultaneous production and sharing of relevant, discoverable information produced in those cases, and to minimize any over-designation of material as confidential contrary to the mandate of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), to the extent that is even occurring. Accordingly, the Court will await the outcome of the motion to consolidate roughly a half dozen class actions filed against Portfolio Recovery Systems in one district court, which motion now is scheduled for hearing before the JPMDL on 12/1/11, before wading into the matter of coordination of discovery in this case with any other cases. Plaintiffs are granted leave to file a reply brief in support of their Motion for Class Certification 69 on or before 11/17/11. Mailed notice (ep, ) (Entered: 11/03/2011)" @default.
