MINUTE ORDER denying as moot #110 Motion for Reconsideration and Motion to Stay. On August 10, 2022, the Court ruled, pursuant to the apex doctrine, that any request to depose FBI Director Christopher Wray or former President Donald J. Trump must await the completion of the depositions of former FBI Deputy Director Bowdich and former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. Thereafter, on February 23, 2023, after full briefing by the parties as to what had transpired in those proceedings, the Court issued a lengthy oral ruling on the question of whether the depositions of Director Wray and former President Trump could proceed. It ordered in its discretion and in accordance with the applicable law that they could both go forward under very strict restrictions as to time and subject matter. The Court is somewhat surprised to learn that since then, the parties have done nothing more than wrangle over the order of the two depositions. The government seems chagrined that the Court did not order that the deposition of the FBI Director be completed first, but it may recall that it was the Court's view that it was Director Wray, the only current high-ranking public official in the group of proposed deponents, whose ongoing essential duties fell most squarely under the protection of the doctrine in question. The defendants' instant motion repeats arguments that were made and fully considered before, and it does not set forth grounds warranting reconsideration. The Court's ruling was appropriate in light of all of the facts, including the former President's own public statements concerning his role in the firing of the plaintiff. However, in order to get the parties -- who apparently still cannot agree on anything -- over this impasse, it is hereby ORDERED that the deposition of Christopher Wray proceed first, rendering the instant motion moot. SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 5/12/23. (DMK)

MINUTE ORDER. With respect to the parties' discovery dispute that was brought to the Court's attention in accordance with the procedure sent out in the Scheduling Order, and after, considering the information provided by both parties, the Court has determined that no conference is necessary. It is ordered that the plaintiffs may reopen the deposition of former Associate Deputy Attorney General Scott Schools and question him for up to 70 minutes concerning the topics and documents that were previously designated as privileged. If the plaintiffs choose to devote some portion of that time to newly produced records, they may do so, but the Court is not ruling that the ongoing production of additional responsive records by either party is enough by itself to support a request by the opposing party to reopen a deposition absent extraordinary circumstances presented by a particular document or set of documents. SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 4/20/2023. (lcabj1)

MINUTE ORDER. For the reasons stated on the record at the hearing on February 23, 2023, the #75 Defendants' Motion to Quash Subpoena and for a Protective Order barring plaintiff Strzok's proposed deposition of FBI Director Christopher Wray on the basis of the apex doctrine, and the Defendants' Motion to Quash Subpoena and for a Protective Order, filed in the related case, 22-mc-27, also based on the apex doctrine, related to the subpoena issued by plaintiff Strzok to former President Donald J. Trump, were DENIED in part. The Court authorized the plaintiffs to conduct depositions of each witness that do not exceed two hours and are limited to the narrow set of topics specified on the record at the hearing. Today's ruling addressed the apex doctrine issues only and did not resolve any questions related to either the Presidential communications prong or the deliberative process prong of the executive privilege. For the reasons stated on the record, the government must inform the Court whether the current President will invoke the executive privilege with respect to the specified topics by March 24, 2023. Also, for reasons stated on the record at the hearing, the Court resolved several discovery disputes, and a status report on the state of discovery is due on March 13, 2023. The hearing was conducted under seal, but in accordance with the Court's 2/21/2023 Minute Order, and with the consent of the parties, the transcript of the proceedings will be unsealed with the limited exception of those portions of the apex doctrine discussion that made reference to sealed deposition testimony, and the portions of the hearing related to discovery disputes. SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 2/23/2023.(lcabj1)
|
|
MINUTE ORDER. Since the issues to be discussed at the hearing set for February 23, 2023 involve consideration of numerous sealed pleadings and exhibits, the hearing will be conducted under seal. During and after the hearing, with the input of the parties, the Court will assess what portions of the transcript, if any, can be unsealed. Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 2/21/2023. (jth)

MINUTE ORDER. In light of the request in the parties' February 3, 2023 Joint Status Report, it is ORDERED that a conference is set for February 23, 2023 at 10:00 AM in Courtroom 3 in person before Judge Amy Berman Jackson. SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 2/9/23. (DMK)

MINUTE ORDER. In light of the #104 joint status report and proposed discovery schedule filed by the parties, it is ORDERED that: (1) defendants must produce all documents covered by the Court's August 10, 2022 minute order, by January 13, 2023, as previously ordered by the Court; (2) plaintiffs must provide defendants with a complete list of proposed topics for a 30(b)(6) deposition of the FBI by January 20, 2023; (3) the parties must complete any remaining document productions by January 31, 2023 (this deadline applies only to the parties to these actions, and not to potential productions sought by third-party subpoenas); (4) the parties must agree on a complete list of 30(b)(6) deposition topics by February 3, 2023, or otherwise notify the Court that the parties have reached an impasse, in which case each party must provide the Court with its proposed list of 30(b)(6) deposition topics; (5) the parties must complete all discovery unaffected by the pending apex doctrine and executive privilege dispute in Strzok v. Garland and Page v. DOJ by March 15, 2023; (6) the parties must submit a joint status report on whether the cases should remain consolidated for purposes of summary judgment or trial by March 22, 2023. Per the Court's December 8, 2022 minute order, the parties will submit a joint report with a proposed schedule or schedules for the completion of all discovery seven days after the Court's ruling on the motions to quash. SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 12/21/2022. (lcabj1)

MINUTE ORDER granting in part and denying in part #103 Plaintiffs' Motion to Reenter Pretrial Schedule. The defendants must produce all documents covered by the Court's August 10, 2022 Minute Order by the agreed date of January 13, 2023. While the Court is well aware that there are issues holding up the completion of discovery, it is not aware that there has been any impediment to the defendants' production of the records they were ordered to produce in August, and so this date will not be extended. Also, the Court is reluctant to leave the schedule entirely open-ended for an indefinite period of time, and therefore, the parties must submit a joint report transmitting an agreed plan (or their individual proposals if they cannot agree) for completing any outstanding discovery unaffected by the pending apex doctrine and executive privilege dispute by December 16, 2022, and a report with a proposed schedule or schedules for the completion of all discovery must be filed seven days after the Court's ruling on the motion to quash. Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 12/8/2022. (lcabj1)

MINUTE ORDER. For the reasons stated during today's proceeding in 19-cv-2367, defendants' motion to quash the deposition notice and subpoena issued to FBI Director Christopher Wray #75 is GRANTED insofar as it asks for the depositions to be sequenced, but otherwise, it remains held in abeyance. The motion to quash the deposition and subpoena as to former President Donald J. Trump in the related case, 22-mc-27, is also GRANTED in terms of the sequencing of depositions, but otherwise held in abeyance. The deposition of the former FBI Deputy Director David Bowdich must be completed before the challenged depositions, along with the deposition of former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, which has already been scheduled. On September 29, 2022, both parties must file supplemental pleadings, which may be no longer than four pages, addressing whether and how any information gathered in those depositions bears upon the resolution of the apex doctrine issue raised in the motions to quash. Furthermore, in order to address the questions of executive privilege that bear upon the resolution of the motions, plaintiff must file a notice by September 29, 2022 transmitting a transcript of the Rosenstein deposition and listing, with as much particularity as possible, the subject matter areas and substance of the questions he would propose to ask at any deposition of the former President and the FBI Director. The defendants must respond to that notice by October 14, 2022, identifying all questions to which they intend to assert executive privilege, specifying as to each whether they are asserting the Presidential Communications or deliberative process prong of the privilege (or both). Neither the September 29 nor the October 14 submission may include any additional commentary or argument with respect to relevance or the apex doctrine. Finally, on October 28, 2022, the parties must submit simultaneous briefs, which may not exceed 15 pages, setting forth their legal arguments as to applicability of the executive privilege. For the reasons stated on the record at the hearing, the Court also resolved a series of outstanding discovery disputes. The government must produce the text messages identified or collected during the Office of the Inspector General's Midyear Investigation Review that were considered to be "inappropriate" but were not referred to the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility for possible discipline; the names of the employees involved may be redacted. The government must also produce the requested December 12, 2017 phone logs for the officials identified in Request No. 47 which may be redacted to exclude inter- or intra-agency calls or external personal calls not directed to any member of the press or media; the log of Sarah Isgur's calls must be produced for the entire eleven day period identified by plaintiff. The remaining discovery disputes were rendered moot by the Court's rulings on the motions to quash and the schedule of future depositions and privilege briefings. Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 8/10/2022. (lcabj1)

MINUTE ORDER. While the Court understands the plaintiffs' interest in bringing discovery to a close, the parties' original proposed schedule was ambitious, and one cannot ignore the fact that the discovery period has overlapped with a time in which government operations of every sort have been burdened and delayed by the pandemic. Moreover, plaintiffs themselves bear some responsibility for the need for additional time if they are still naming additional potential records custodians. Therefore, after considering the parties' representations in the joint status report #70 , the Court finds the following schedule to be appropriate: plaintiffs must make any requests to expand the search to include additional custodians by December 1, 2021. All fact discovery must be completed by March 1, 2022. All expert discovery must be completed by April 15, 2022. The joint status report as to whether the cases should remain consolidated for purposes of summary judgment or trial must be submitted by April 22, 2022. Finally, the previously scheduled post-discovery status conference set for January 5 is VACATED, and a new post-discovery status conference is set for April 29, 2022 at 10:00 am, in person, in Courtroom 3. As previously noted in the scheduling order, counsel are expected to continue to evaluate their respective cases for settlement purposes, and the parties may notify chambers at any time if they jointly conclude that the case would benefit from the assistance of the Court's Mediation Program or a Magistrate Judge. If the case settles in whole or in part, plaintiffs counsel shall advise the Court by promptly filing a stipulation. Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 11/4/2021. (lcabj1)

So the parties in both cases are hereby directed to meet and confer and submit a joint report by October 22, 2021 indicating their position or positions on whether and how the schedule for moving forward on all claims should be modified.

| Filing 66 Joint STATUS REPORT Per April 27, 2021 Minute Order by PETER STRZOK. (Attachments: #1 Text of Proposed Order)(MacColl, Christopher) |
|
MINUTE ORDER. On April 26, 2021, the Court conducted a status conference in the Strzok case, 19-cv-2367, to resolve several disputes concerning the scope and timing of discovery related to Counts One and Two, which arise out of plaintiff's termination. The parties advised the Court that they had resolved the issue concerning the production of records of potentially comparable disciplinary actions, so the Court did not rule on that issue further. The Court agreed with the defendant that it need not provide the metadata associated with every record produced, but it will be required to produce it if the plaintiff raises a good faith concern about the authenticity or provenance of a document or whether the document has been altered in some way. The parties must meet and confer about the format of the information if that situation arises. Defendant must identify the custodian who was the source of any records produced, but it need not identify potential custodians who searched records in their possession but found but no responsive documents. Defendant may not redact the identity of people who are in the "to" or "from" line of e-mails; if it concludes that it is appropriate to redact the names of GS level employees named as "cc's" on any communication, the parties must meet and confer before bringing that dispute to the Court. The Court notes, though, that there is a Protective Order in place that may alleviate the government's concerns regarding any sensitive material. The date for the completion of all discovery related to plaintiff Strzok's constitutional claims is hereby extended until October 15, 2021; in order to meet that deadline, records responsive to his requests for production must be produced by September 1. Given the extension of the discovery schedule in that regard, the expert disclosure dates and the date for the submission of the joint status report concerning the continued consolidation of 19-2367 and 19-3675 may need to be extended; the parties in both cases are hereby directed to meet and confer and submit a joint report by April 30, 2021 indicating their position or positions on whether and how the schedule for moving forward on all claims should be modified. SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 4/27/2021. (lcabj1)
