Dolinger from Jeffrey Burstein, dated 4/22/2011, re: At the end ofthe April 13, 2011 conference before Your Honor concerning discovery issues raised by Plaintiff EEOC, Defendant raised an issue that had not been the subject of a pre-motion letter, its request for time logs and records Mr. D'Ablemont kept regarding his work for his clients Cox Reps, TeleRep and HRP for a ten-year period. Your Honor stated that EEOC should respond to this request by April 27, 2011. EEOC does not possess these documents; and Mr. D'Ablemont has stated that given the very lengthy time frame of this request, ten years, he will need an additional week to be able to gather and review these documents. Therefore, if Your Honor approves, by May 5, 2011 either EEOC will produce the documents to Defendant; or alternatively (as Your Honor allowed in response to my inquiry at the April 13, 2011 proceeding), Mr. D'Ablemont will move to quash by that date.

As amended by Magistrate Judge Michael H. Dolinger in paragraphs 1-2, 4-5, 7-15. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Michael H. Dolinger on 8/16/10) (rjm)
August 16, 2010 Opinion or Order Filing 25 ORDER. We have issued a confidentiality order in the above-captioned matter that adopts portions of both parties' proposed stipulations. In doing so, we decline to order that specific categories of documents be deemed confidential since no party has made a required showing of good cause for doing so. The parties are free, however, to agree to treat as confidential any category of documents or to seek court approval if they cannot agree on a category-by-category basis. As for plaintiff's concern about the handling of discovery materials during motion practice (or at trial), the law does require a stronger showing to justify sealing court documents, and the court will, if called upon, apply that stricter standard if the parties do not agree. Finally, we believe it to be unwieldy at this point to require, as plaintiff requests, that documents be broken down into confidential and non-confidential segments for all purposes. If either side finds a need for such treatment during discovery, it may apply to the court for relief, if the other side will not agree. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Michael H. Dolinger on 8/16/10) Copies Sent By Chambers. (rjm)
