August 31, 2023 Filing 24 SCHEDULING/DISCOVERY ORDER:Discovery to be complete by 7/18/2024. Dispositive motions due by 8/15/2024. Ordered by US DISTRICT JUDGE CLAY D LAND on 8/31/2023. (esl)
August 31, 2023 Filing 23 This is a text only entry; no document issued. ORDER deferring ruling on #19 Motion for Protective Order. Defendant proposes a confidentiality protective order essentially verbatim to one the Court previously entered in a similar case which was consented to by the parties in that other case. Plaintiffs in this case object to that order on a myriad of grounds and certainly do not consent to it. As the Court tried to indicate at the scheduling conference in this case, it found its previous order reasonable and found no reason to substantially depart from it in this case. However, the Court does acknowledge that Plaintiff does not agree with its terms. Accordingly, within 7 days, Defendant shall send another draft order to the Court that contains the terms and conditions from the Court's previous order, except any reference in the order that the Plaintiff agrees to any part of the order shall be deleted and/or revised to make clear what the Court is ordering but does not indicate or suggest that Plaintiff agrees with those provisions. Plaintiff, of course, will nevertheless be bound with them. While Defendant shall send Plaintiff's counsel a courtesy copy of what it sends to the Court, the Court has made up its mind and no further squabbling will be fruitful. Ordered by US DISTRICT JUDGE CLAY D LAND on 08/31/2023 (CCL)
