September 20, 2011 Filing 302 NOTICE of Compliance with Court Order by Alltel Communication LLC, Verizon Wireless Personal Communications d/b/a Verizon Wireless re 301 Order on Motion to Quash,,,,,, (Alwine, Robert)
September 17, 2011 Opinion or Order Filing 301 ENDORSED, PAPERLESS ORDER striking 300 Verizon's Motion to Quash because it violates the discovery procedures order entered in this case. If Verizon wishes to pursue the relief requested in its incorrectly filed motion, then it shall refile the motion by no later than 5:00 p.m. on September 20, 2011. Assuming that Verizon refiles the motion, then Defendants Crompton and Schmidt shall file a response, in conformity with the order governing discovery disputes in this case, by September 22, 2011. Absent a specific order permitting a reply (which is highly unlikely), no further briefing may be filed. The Court will hold a hearing on the motion on September 23, 2011 at 3:30 p.m. In the meantime, the parties are urged to continue efforts to resolve their discovery dispute. If those efforts succeed and the issues are completely resolved, then the parties shall timely advise the Court so that it does not unnecessarily waste time preparing for an unnecessary hearing. Given that the motion at issue was filed (albeit in violation of the specific order governing discovery procedures in this case) by a non-litigant third party, the Court advises Verizon of its standard discovery policy: Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 37, the Court is required to award expenses in connection with a discovery motion unless one or more of the limited exceptions apply. The parties litigating this case are already aware of the Court's practice of following the Rules of Civil Procedure and know that the Court has, in fact, entered an expense award mandated by Rule 37. Signed by Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman on 9/17/2011.(JG)

September 7, 2011 Opinion or Order Filing 296 ENDORSED, PAPERLESS ORDER VACATING order to show cause 295 . The show cause order was incorrectly entered. That order was premised on the incorrect belief that Defendant Schmidt's lead counsel had not submitted an affidavit required by Court order. As it turned out, however, counsel had, in fact, timely submitted the affidavit. The Court learned this morning (half a day after mistakenly entering the show cause order) that the affidavit had been submitted to the Court's e-file inbox on September 2, 2011. Although the Court was on "duty" on September 2, 2011 and received 50 submissions in its inbox that day,the Court and its staff should have noticed the submission and should not have entered a show cause order. Therefore, under these circumstances, the Court vacates the show cause order it entered yesterday afternoon and admonishes itself and its staff for the mistakenly entered order and any inconvenience it generated. Signed by Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman on 9/7/2011.(JG)

During the hearing, Defendant Schmidt's counsel, Frederick E. Hasty, III, advised the court that he believed he had email communications with Plaintiffs' counsel after he served his combined objections and privilege log but before Plaintiffs filed their motion to compel.

Defendant Schmidt shall file, as a composite exhibit to the memorandum of law he will be filing on or before July 21, 2011, all emails that he and his associates exchanged with Plaintiffs' counsel concerning the pre-filing (of the motion) conference designed to obviate the need for a discovery motion.

July 6, 2011 Opinion or Order Filing 242 ORDER granting 241 United States of America's Motion for Extension of Time to File Response to Plaintiffs' Motion for Judicial Review of Denial of Touhy Requests and to Compel Appearance of National Park Service Employees for Deposition (DE# 217). Based on the Government's representation that it has, in fact, reached an agreement with Plaintiff regarding the information requested in the motion, the Court grants the unopposed motion (in order to give the partiess the time they requested to "finalize the details"). In the event that the agreement unwinds or cannot be documented by agreement, then the United States shall file its written response to the motion no later than July 19, 2011. Barring unexpected developments of an emergency nature, this already-extended deadline will not be extended again. Signed by Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman on 7/6/2011.(JG)

July 1, 2011 Filing 240 PAPERLESS RE-NOTICE of Hearing on Motion DE # 234 Plaintiff's MOTION to Compel Production from Defendant Schmidt : Pursuant to the agreement of all parties, the Motion Hearing is rescheduled for 7/14/2011 at 3:00 PM in Miami Division before Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman. Defendant shall file its responses by 7/6/11 by 12:00pm and shall conventionally file any possible documents under-seal for in camera review by 7/6/11. Plaintiff shall file their reply by 7/12/11.(mso)
June 28, 2011 Opinion or Order Filing 239 ENDORSED, PAPERLESS ORDER deferring ruling on 238 Defendants' Motion for Extension of Time to Comply With Court Orders (DE## 235 and 237). The Court is certainly willing to accommodate defense counsel and adjust the deadlines but the Court is not a scheduling coordinator, tasked with juggling counsel's hectic professional and vacation schedules. The proposed July 6, 2011 response deadline and the July 7, 2011 proposed hearing date suggested by defense counsel in his motion are unworkable because they do not leave time for Plaintiffs to file a reply memorandum or for the Court to conduct an in camera review. Therefore, defense counsel shall coordinate with Plaintiffs' counsel and make their best efforts to mutually agree to an adjusted schedule -- including due dates for the response and reply memoranda, the possible under-seal filing for in camera review and a hearing date. Once counsel agree on dates, they shall contact the Court's courtroom deputy, Michael Santorufo, and determine whether the Court's schedule will accommodate the new hearing date. If so, then the dates proposed by counsel will be used and the Court will issue a new hearing notice and a new briefing schedule order. If not, then counsel shall generate other proposed hearing dates until they find one available to the Court. The Court is not intimately involved with the parties' discovery schedule and needs in this case. If, for example, the parties are willing to postpone the hearing until August or September and this does not create a risk of affecting the District Court's trial scheduling order, then the undersigned is certainly willing to postpone the hearng until August. If an earlier date is needed because the parties do not want to compromise other discovery or because of other reasons, strategic, personal or otherwise, then counsel will need to try to adjust their own schedules and generate an alternate proposal. If counsel cannot agree to new, proposed dates, then the Court will set its own schedule. The Court prefers to adopt a schedule which is agreeable to the parties and their counsel and which does not generate undue inconvenience.

June 25, 2011 Opinion or Order Filing 237 ENDORSED, PAPERLESS, SUPPLEMENTAL ORDER concerning (#234) Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel Production From Defendant Schmidt. This Order supplements the order (DE# 235) providing briefing instructions and scheduling the hearing for July 8, 2011. In addition to the subjects listed in the initial Order (DE# 235), Defendant's Reply shall also cite the authority which supports Defendant's position, asserted repeatedly in his objections and privilege log, that 32 emails, including more than two dozen sent within a week after Michael Adelman's death -- many of which were sent within the first three days of his death and which discussed the circumstances surrounding his death -- are not even discoverable because they are supposedly not relevant or material. Given this additional subject matter, Defendant's Response may be up to 5 pages. If the parties do not completely resolve all discovery issues concerning the 32 emails at issue in the motion by July 6, 2011, then Defendant shall file all 32 emails under seal for in camera review by noon on July 7, 2011. Counsel who represented Defendant Schmidt at his deposition must personally appear at the July 8, 2011 hearing. Signed by Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman on 6/25/2011.(JG)

June 24, 2011 Opinion or Order Filing 235 ORDER taking under advisement 234 Plaintiff's Motion to Compel Production for Defendant Schmidt. Defendant Schmidt shall file a response of no more than 5 pages by Friday, July 1. In his response, Defendant Schmidt shall cite caselaw and other suthority supporting his view, asserted in his Objection to and privilege log regarding notice of taking deposition duces tecum, that certain documents would not be produced because of a purported "privilege" for "confidentiality" and "privacy." In addition, he shall also explain why his counsel's comments, on page 184 of the deposition transcript, do not constitute impermissible coaching. If Plaintiffs wish to submit a reply of no more than 3 pages, they must file it by July 6, 2011. The Court will hold a discovery hearing on this motion on Friday, July 8, 2011, at 10:00 a.m. The parties are urged to take additional efforts to resolve their discovery disputes. The Court's practice is to award attorney's fees to the prevailing party on a motion to comple unless the party subject to discovery has provided substantial justification for his no-production position. If the parties resolve some or all of their disputes before the hearing, then they they shall timely advise the Court, to avoid unnecesary preparation by the Court and its support staff.

June 7, 2011 Opinion or Order Filing 225 ORDER denying without prejudice 224 Plaintiffs' Motion for Reconsideration, for failure to comply with Local Rule 7.1(a)(3). The motion does not contain the required certification about the pre-filing efforts to resolve the issues raised in the motion and the Court assumes that no such effort was made. But, regardless of whether the effort was made, the requisite certification was not provided and the Court therefore has no way to know whether Plaintiffs complied with Local Rule's pre-filing conference requirement. Ironically, Plaintiffs themselves previously filed (DE# 185) a successful motion to strike a Reply filed by Defendants because it violated the specific discovery procedures established in this case. If Plaintiffs wish to pursue this discovery issue, then they shall comply with the Local Rule and first seek to resolve the issue by conferring with defense counsel. If those efforts fail in whole or in part, then Plaintiffs may file the motion (with the Rule-required certificate). If Plaintiffs file such a motion, then Defendants may respond but shall do so within five (5) days. There shall be no reply absent a specific court order.

June 6, 2011 Filing 219 NOTICE by Howard K. Crompton, Andrew L. Schmidt re 216 Order Setting Hearing on Motion,,,,, of Filing Supplemental Authority (Hasty, Frederick)
June 2, 2011 Opinion or Order Filing 218 ENDORSED, PAPERLESS ORDER taking under advisement and providing instructions concerning 217 Plaintiffs' Motion for Judicial Review. Plaintiffs' motion concerns the United States Department of the Interior, which is not a named party involved in litigating this case. The Court notes that Plaintiffs' certificate of service reflects that a copy of the motion was sent by email to two Department of the Interior attorneys. Because the 20-page motion appears to also contain approximately 200 pages of exhibits, there is a chance that the motion and exhibits will not be delivered to government counsel by email. Therefore, Plaintiffs' counsel shall also serve copies of the motion (with exhibits) upon the two DOI attorneys listed in the certificate of service by overnight mail. If the Department of Interior wishes to respond to the motion, then it shall file its response of no more than 20 pages within 20 days of receiving the motion and its exhibits. Although the motion and exhibits demonstrate that Plaintiffs' counsel and the DOI have had numerous communications about the so-called Touhy regulations and their application to this case, the Court is requiring counsel for Plaintiffs and DOI to again confer in an attempt to avoid significant additional motion practice. Although the motion seeks relief against the DOI, Defendants may also submit a response (either in support of or in opposition to) the motion.

May 31, 2011 Opinion or Order Filing 216 ENDORSED ORDER Setting Hearing and granting Defendants' Request for Oral Argument 215 on Defendants' Motion for Reconsideration 204 concerning Discovery Order regarding text messages 196 . The hearing will be on Tuesday, June 7, 2011, at 10:00 a.m. The Court will not issue a separate hearing notice. Although the Court is granting Defendants' request for oral argument, it is highly unlikely that the Court will need the one hour requested by Defendants. The discovery order at issue in the Motion for Reconsideration is a discrete one and the Court is already familiar with the factual and legal issues underlying the dispute. Nevertheless, in an abundance of caution, the Court will reserve the full hour requested but anticipates using far less time. If any party intends to use any case or other legal authority which has not yet been cited in motions or memoranda, then the party must file a notice of supplemental authority by no laer than noon on June 6, 2011. The notice shall be a mere list of the cases and authorities and shall not contain any argument or disguised argument (such as providing a lengthy parenthetical "explanation" of the holding). The notice is only for new authorities. If a party is not going to be referring to any new authority at the hearing, then no notice should be filed.

May 12, 2011 Opinion or Order Filing 202 ORDER requiring Plaintiffs to submit copies of portions of written discovery at issue in their Motion to Compel Better Responses to Request for Production (DE# 198). Specifically, Plaintiffs shall submit a notice of filing, attaching the pages from their Sixth Requet for Production of Documents which contain items 6(f), 22, 24, 26, 28, 33, 35, 37, 41-46. Plaintiffs shall also submit the pages from Defendant's response to these items. The Court does not need any other pages from the written discovery other than those containing the specific items requested and the objections to them. Plaintiffs shall submit the filing by the end of business of Monday, May 16, 2011. For future discovery disputes, the parties shall file copies of the specific discovery at issue so that the Court can understand the dispute. Otherwise, the Court is left only with a mere motion which simply describes, in general, all the categories of requested documents -- and that is not a sound basis for a ruling. If the motion itself quotes or accurately summarizes all the discovery at issue, then a separate filing (or exhibits attached to the motion) is not necessary. The attorneys filing the discovery motions should know whether a filing is required. Signed by Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman on 5/12/2011. (JG)

Mr. Conrad is further directed to designate all printed pages containing the text messages with an indentification number, sometimes called a Bates number. Mr. Conrad is also directed to then arrange for these pages to be filed with the Clerk of this Court under seal, so that the Court can conduct an in camera review of the text messages. The Court will then issue a ruling as to whether any of the text messages are subject to being turned over to defense counsel as part of discovery, and, if so, which specific pages are eligible for defense review. Mr. Conrad shall submit the printed-out text messages under seal by no later than 5:00 p.m. on April 18, 2011. Signed by Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman on 4/7/2011.(JG)
April 7, 2011 Opinion or Order Filing 188 ORDER granting 185 Plaintiffs' Motion to Strike Defendants' Reply (DE# 187) concerning Defendants' Motion to Compel Production of Text Messages (DE# 177). As established in the discovery procedures implemented by the prior magistrate judge assigned to this case, no replies are permitted on discovery motions unless specifically authorized by the Court. The Court did not authorize a reply here. Moreover, the reply is improper in any event because it exceeds the maximum page limit for discovery-related submissions. Therefore, the reply is sticken and will not be considered. Defendants are directed to comply with the Court's orders, including discovery procedures. [Administrative Note: This case was recently transferred to me. My discovery procedures are strikingly similar to those of Magistrate Judge McAliley. In particular, the page limits and "no-reply-unless-specifically-authorized" rules are the same]. Signed by Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman on 4/7/2011. (JG)
