November 26, 2014	Set/Reset Deadlines: The plaintiff shall, by 12/05/2014, submit a motion for leave to amend his Complaint, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(2), that is "accompanied by an original of the proposed pleading as amended," as required by Local Civil Rule 15.1. The defendant shall, by 12/19/2014, submit any opposition to the plaintiff's motion for leave to amend, including any request, stated with particularity, for any additional discovery necessitated by the plaintiff's proposed partnership claim(s). The plaintiff shall, by 12/26/2014, submit any reply. (ad)
November 26, 2014	MINUTE ORDER (paperless) DENYING the defendant's #63 Motion for Summary Judgment; DENYING the defendant's #64 Motion for Sanctions without prejudice; and DENYING the defendant's #75 Motion to Strike as moot. Despite the plaintiff's failure to point out disputes or agreement with each of the fifty-five numbered statements presented by the defendant in his [63-2] statement of material facts not in dispute, as required by Local Civil Rule 7(h), the Court concludes, upon consideration of the full record presented in connection with the defendant's pending motions, that there are sufficient disputed issues of material fact regarding the formation, duration, and alleged withdrawal from, as well as the property interests subject to, the alleged partnership between them, such that summary judgment is precluded. See Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322 (1986); compare, e.g., Def.'s Statement of Mat. Facts As to Which There Is No Genuine Issue paragraphs 1, 4, 8, 9, 27-41 with Pl.'s Statement of Mat. Facts In Dispute In Opp'n To Def.'s Mot. Summ. J. paragraphs 4-6, 21, 24. Consequently, the defendant's #63 Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED. The defendant's #75 Motion to Strike is DENIED as moot. The defendant is correct, however, that the plaintiff has not yet moved to amend his pleading to include a partnership claim, leaving "the defendant and the court... to speculate about the precise parameters of the claim." #73 Def.'s Reply Pl.'s Opp'n Def.'s Mot. Summ. J. at 4. Indeed, the plaintiff concedes that only two paragraphs in the Complaint, paragraphs 18 and 26, even reference the word "partner." #70 Pl.'s Opp'n Def.'s Mot. Summ. J. at 2-3. This Court has previously noted that the precise "nature of the alleged contract" at issue has "been characterized by the plaintiff in a variety of ways" and "eluded precise definition," #37 Mem. Op. at 18, resulting in the protraction of this litigation with concomitant burdens on the parties and the Court. The plaintiff implicitly admits the prejudice this has caused the defendant when he states that the "Defendant's argument underlying his Motion for Summary Judgment clearly underscores his precise misunderstanding of the issues to be tried." #70 Pl.'s Opp'n Def.'s Mot. Summ. J. at 3. To alleviate this confusion by clarifying the remaining issues in dispute that may be subject to trial, and conserve the resources and time of the Court and the citizens of the District of Columbia who may be called upon to serve as jurors in this matter, the plaintiff shall, by December 5, 2014, submit a motion for leave to amend his Complaint, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(2), that is "accompanied by an original of the proposed pleading as amended," as required by Local Civil Rule 15.1. The plaintiff's reference to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(b) is inapposite, since trial in this matter has not begun. The defendant shall, by December 19, 2014, submit any opposition to the plaintiff's motion for leave to amend, including any request, stated with particularity, for any additional discovery necessitated by the plaintiff's proposed partnership claim(s). The plaintiff shall, by December 26, 2014, submit any reply. The plaintiff is cautioned not to include any claims in the Amended Complaint that have already been resolved by this Court and affirmed by the D.C. Circuit. The defendant also seeks the sanction of dismissal and attorneys' fees against the plaintiff for the alleged withholding of material evidence. See #64 Def.'s Mot. Sanctions. Since the plaintiff has not yet provided a precise description of the plaintiff's partnership-related claim(s), it is inadvisable to rule on the defendant's motion at this juncture, since the question of materiality is inextricably linked with the claims being asserted. Nevertheless, the serious allegations of spoliation and other abuses of the litigation process may be raised again after a more complete record has been created, and the Court will resolve such motion, if renewed, at the conclusion of these proceedings. Therefore, the defendant's #64 Motion for Sanctions is DENIED without prejudice. Signed by Judge Beryl A. Howell on November 26, 2014. (lcbah1)

September 6, 2014	MINUTE ORDER (paperless) ISSUING the following scheduling order to control further proceedings in this matter, in light of the parties' #59 Joint Status Report: Any renewed dispositive motion shall be filed by September 29, 2014; any opposition shall be filed by October 13, 2014; any reply shall be filed by October 20, 2014. Although the plaintiff is correct that the D.C. Circuit's decision in this matter states that the plaintiff "is entitled to present his claim to a jury," Queen v. Schultz, 747 F.3d 879, 889 (D.C. Cir. 2014), that decision was based on the then extant record, which did not include complete discovery on the plaintiff's implicit partnership claim.The only time limit placed on motions for summary judgment in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56 is that such a motion may be filed "at any time until 30 days after the close of all discovery," Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(b), unless otherwise ordered by the Court. Such a motion could conserve the resources of the Court, litigants and jurors since "[i]f the court does not grant all the relief requested by the motion, it may enter an order stating any material fact... that is not genuinely in dispute and treating the fact as established in the case." Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(g); see Charles Alan Wright, Arthur R. Miller et al., 10B Fed. Prac. & Proc. Civ. sec. 2737 (3d ed.) (stating a court "is empowered, when it would be practicable to save time and expense and to simplify the trial, to issue an order that specifies the facts that appear without substantial controversy."). To this end, the Court will consider any timely filed motion for summary judgment. If no such motion is filed, the parties shall adhere to the following schedule: the parties shall appear for a pre-trial conference on October 30, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 15; the Joint Pretrial Statement shall be filed by October 16, 2014 and any motions in limine shall be fully briefed at the time of the pretrial conference, see #2 Standing Order para. 11; trial shall commence with voir dire on December 1, 2014 at 9:30 a.m. in Courtroom 15.

August 13, 2014	MINUTE ORDER (paperless) GRANTING non-party Arnold Lutzker's #52 Motion to Quash Subpoena. Given the defendant's proffered reasons for seeking the non-party's deposition and the non-party's responses, the deposition sought would likely require the disclosure of privileged material obtained during the non-party's representation of the plaintiff for approximately six months in 2010. The non-party proffers that the two areas of inquiry specifically identified by the defendant would involve discussion of privileged material. Specifically, the non-party states that "[t]he documents and sources that [the non-party] consulted in order to 'familiarize' himself with the Ed Schultz Program were collected in anticipation of litigation," while his "personal concern" regarding the defendant was based "in part on statements and information provided by [the plaintiff] to [the non-party]." #56 Non-party's Reply at 4. The potential for "disclosure of privileged attorney-client communications or other information obtained during the representation" of the plaintiff by the non-party significantly outweighs any benefit that would accrue to the defendant in this matter. See Sterne Kessler Goldstein & Fox, PLLC v. Eastman Kodak Co. (Sterne Kessler), 276 F.R.D. 376, 384 (D.D.C. 2011); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(d)(3)(A)(iii) (requiring court to quash subpoena when subpoena "requires disclosure of privileged or other protected matter"). Signed by Judge Beryl A. Howell on August 13, 2014. (lcbah1)

July 17, 2014	MINUTE ORDER (paperless) DENYING the parties' request for a teleconference, conveyed to the Court via e-mail, and CONSTRUING the parties' request as a Motion to Compel Production from the plaintiff. The MSNBC contracts with the defendant arose "[i]n March 2009" when the defendant "backed out of the project [with the plaintiff] and accepted an offer from MSNBC to host 'The Ed Show.'" See Queen v. Schultz, 747 F.3d 879, 883 (D.C. Cir. 2014). The D.C. Circuit credited evidence from April 5, 2008 and May 29, 2008 for the proposition that a reasonable jury was capable of inferring the existence of a partnership between the parties. See id. at 888. Nevertheless, the Circuit noted that "any consideration of the amount of damages payable to [the plaintiff] would be premature in advance of a jury verdict on whether the parties formed a partnership" and whether the plaintiff can "prove that [the defendant] breached his duty of loyalty under District of Columbia partnership law." Id. at 889. Given the fact that the MSNBC contracts would necessarily post-date the alleged partnership agreement, as the defendant points out, the MSNBC contracts are irrelevant to determining liability. Thus, the Court DENIES the plaintiff's motion without prejudice. Signed by Judge Beryl A. Howell on July 17, 2014. (lcbah1)

The Court's Minute Order of May 14, 2014 setting dates for the pretrial conference and trial is hereby VACATED, over the objections of the plaintiff, in light of the defendant's request for discovery limited to allegations that "a partnership was formed... [and] that [the defendant] breached partnership duties...." #46 Def.'s Mot. Continuance Tr. Discovery in this matter is hereby REOPENED for limited discovery on such topics since, as the D.C. Circuit noted, the plaintiff's "complaint contains no assertion of a breach of partnership duties, and in fact nowhere uses the word 'partnership.'" Queen v. Schultz No. 12-7099, 2014 WL 1328338, at *6 (D.C. Cir. Apr. 4, 2014).

November 26, 2014

Set/Reset Deadlines: The plaintiff shall, by 12/05/2014, submit a motion for leave to amend his Complaint, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(2), that is "accompanied by an original of the proposed pleading as amended," as required by Local Civil Rule 15.1. The defendant shall, by 12/19/2014, submit any opposition to the plaintiff's motion for leave to amend, including any request, stated with particularity, for any additional discovery necessitated by the plaintiff's proposed partnership claim(s). The plaintiff shall, by 12/26/2014, submit any reply. (ad)

November 26, 2014

MINUTE ORDER (paperless) DENYING the defendant's #63 Motion for Summary Judgment; DENYING the defendant's #64 Motion for Sanctions without prejudice; and DENYING the defendant's #75 Motion to Strike as moot. Despite the plaintiff's failure to point out disputes or agreement with each of the fifty-five numbered statements presented by the defendant in his [63-2] statement of material facts not in dispute, as required by Local Civil Rule 7(h), the Court concludes, upon consideration of the full record presented in connection with the defendant's pending motions, that there are sufficient disputed issues of material fact regarding the formation, duration, and alleged withdrawal from, as well as the property interests subject to, the alleged partnership between them, such that summary judgment is precluded. See Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322 (1986); compare, e.g., Def.'s Statement of Mat. Facts As to Which There Is No Genuine Issue paragraphs 1, 4, 8, 9, 27-41 with Pl.'s Statement of Mat. Facts In Dispute In Opp'n To Def.'s Mot. Summ. J. paragraphs 4-6, 21, 24. Consequently, the defendant's #63 Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED. The defendant's #75 Motion to Strike is DENIED as moot. The defendant is correct, however, that the plaintiff has not yet moved to amend his pleading to include a partnership claim, leaving "the defendant and the court... to speculate about the precise parameters of the claim." #73 Def.'s Reply Pl.'s Opp'n Def.'s Mot. Summ. J. at 4. Indeed, the plaintiff concedes that only two paragraphs in the Complaint, paragraphs 18 and 26, even reference the word "partner." #70 Pl.'s Opp'n Def.'s Mot. Summ. J. at 2-3. This Court has previously noted that the precise "nature of the alleged contract" at issue has "been characterized by the plaintiff in a variety of ways" and "eluded precise definition," #37 Mem. Op. at 18, resulting in the protraction of this litigation with concomitant burdens on the parties and the Court. The plaintiff implicitly admits the prejudice this has caused the defendant when he states that the "Defendant's argument underlying his Motion for Summary Judgment clearly underscores his precise misunderstanding of the issues to be tried." #70 Pl.'s Opp'n Def.'s Mot. Summ. J. at 3. To alleviate this confusion by clarifying the remaining issues in dispute that may be subject to trial, and conserve the resources and time of the Court and the citizens of the District of Columbia who may be called upon to serve as jurors in this matter, the plaintiff shall, by December 5, 2014, submit a motion for leave to amend his Complaint, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(2), that is "accompanied by an original of the proposed pleading as amended," as required by Local Civil Rule 15.1. The plaintiff's reference to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(b) is inapposite, since trial in this matter has not begun. The defendant shall, by December 19, 2014, submit any opposition to the plaintiff's motion for leave to amend, including any request, stated with particularity, for any additional discovery necessitated by the plaintiff's proposed partnership claim(s). The plaintiff shall, by December 26, 2014, submit any reply. The plaintiff is cautioned not to include any claims in the Amended Complaint that have already been resolved by this Court and affirmed by the D.C. Circuit. The defendant also seeks the sanction of dismissal and attorneys' fees against the plaintiff for the alleged withholding of material evidence. See #64 Def.'s Mot. Sanctions. Since the plaintiff has not yet provided a precise description of the plaintiff's partnership-related claim(s), it is inadvisable to rule on the defendant's motion at this juncture, since the question of materiality is inextricably linked with the claims being asserted. Nevertheless, the serious allegations of spoliation and other abuses of the litigation process may be raised again after a more complete record has been created, and the Court will resolve such motion, if renewed, at the conclusion of these proceedings. Therefore, the defendant's #64 Motion for Sanctions is DENIED without prejudice. Signed by Judge Beryl A. Howell on November 26, 2014. (lcbah1)

September 6, 2014

MINUTE ORDER (paperless) ISSUING the following scheduling order to control further proceedings in this matter, in light of the parties' #59 Joint Status Report: Any renewed dispositive motion shall be filed by September 29, 2014; any opposition shall be filed by October 13, 2014; any reply shall be filed by October 20, 2014. Although the plaintiff is correct that the D.C. Circuit's decision in this matter states that the plaintiff "is entitled to present his claim to a jury," Queen v. Schultz, 747 F.3d 879, 889 (D.C. Cir. 2014), that decision was based on the then extant record, which did not include complete discovery on the plaintiff's implicit partnership claim.The only time limit placed on motions for summary judgment in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56 is that such a motion may be filed "at any time until 30 days after the close of all discovery," Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(b), unless otherwise ordered by the Court. Such a motion could conserve the resources of the Court, litigants and jurors since "[i]f the court does not grant all the relief requested by the motion, it may enter an order stating any material fact... that is not genuinely in dispute and treating the fact as established in the case." Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(g); see Charles Alan Wright, Arthur R. Miller et al., 10B Fed. Prac. & Proc. Civ. sec. 2737 (3d ed.) (stating a court "is empowered, when it would be practicable to save time and expense and to simplify the trial, to issue an order that specifies the facts that appear without substantial controversy."). To this end, the Court will consider any timely filed motion for summary judgment. If no such motion is filed, the parties shall adhere to the following schedule: the parties shall appear for a pre-trial conference on October 30, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 15; the Joint Pretrial Statement shall be filed by October 16, 2014 and any motions in limine shall be fully briefed at the time of the pretrial conference, see #2 Standing Order para. 11; trial shall commence with voir dire on December 1, 2014 at 9:30 a.m. in Courtroom 15.

MINUTE ORDER (paperless) GRANTING non-party Arnold Lutzker's #52 Motion to Quash Subpoena. Given the defendant's proffered reasons for seeking the non-party's deposition and the non-party's responses, the deposition sought would likely require the disclosure of privileged material obtained during the non-party's representation of the plaintiff for approximately six months in 2010. The non-party proffers that the two areas of inquiry specifically identified by the defendant would involve discussion of privileged material. Specifically, the non-party states that "[t]he documents and sources that [the non-party] consulted in order to 'familiarize' himself with the Ed Schultz Program were collected in anticipation of litigation," while his "personal concern" regarding the defendant was based "in part on statements and information provided by [the plaintiff] to [the non-party]." #56 Non-party's Reply at 4. The potential for "disclosure of privileged attorney-client communications or other information obtained during the representation" of the plaintiff by the non-party significantly outweighs any benefit that would accrue to the defendant in this matter. See Sterne Kessler Goldstein & Fox, PLLC v. Eastman Kodak Co. (Sterne Kessler), 276 F.R.D. 376, 384 (D.D.C. 2011); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(d)(3)(A)(iii) (requiring court to quash subpoena when subpoena "requires disclosure of privileged or other protected matter"). Signed by Judge Beryl A. Howell on August 13, 2014. (lcbah1)

July 17, 2014

MINUTE ORDER (paperless) DENYING the parties' request for a teleconference, conveyed to the Court via e-mail, and CONSTRUING the parties' request as a Motion to Compel Production from the plaintiff. The MSNBC contracts with the defendant arose "[i]n March 2009" when the defendant "backed out of the project [with the plaintiff] and accepted an offer from MSNBC to host 'The Ed Show.'" See Queen v. Schultz, 747 F.3d 879, 883 (D.C. Cir. 2014). The D.C. Circuit credited evidence from April 5, 2008 and May 29, 2008 for the proposition that a reasonable jury was capable of inferring the existence of a partnership between the parties. See id. at 888. Nevertheless, the Circuit noted that "any consideration of the amount of damages payable to [the plaintiff] would be premature in advance of a jury verdict on whether the parties formed a partnership" and whether the plaintiff can "prove that [the defendant] breached his duty of loyalty under District of Columbia partnership law." Id. at 889. Given the fact that the MSNBC contracts would necessarily post-date the alleged partnership agreement, as the defendant points out, the MSNBC contracts are irrelevant to determining liability. Thus, the Court DENIES the plaintiff's motion without prejudice. Signed by Judge Beryl A. Howell on July 17, 2014. (lcbah1)

The Court's Minute Order of May 14, 2014 setting dates for the pretrial conference and trial is hereby VACATED, over the objections of the plaintiff, in light of the defendant's request for discovery limited to allegations that "a partnership was formed... [and] that [the defendant] breached partnership duties...." #46 Def.'s Mot. Continuance Tr. Discovery in this matter is hereby REOPENED for limited discovery on such topics since, as the D.C. Circuit noted, the plaintiff's "complaint contains no assertion of a breach of partnership duties, and in fact nowhere uses the word 'partnership.'" Queen v. Schultz No. 12-7099, 2014 WL 1328338, at *6 (D.C. Cir. Apr. 4, 2014). The period for this limited discovery shall close on August 31, 2014, on which date the parties shall file a joint status report advising the Court whether (a) the parties request referral for mediation or settlement, (b) the parties request a date for a pretrial conference, (c) dispositive motions are anticipated, and (d) a proposed schedule to control further proceedings in this matter.
