August 30, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 273 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Maria Valdez: Plaintiffs' Fifth Motion to Compel Discovery #266 is denied. Ford has agreed to provide the relief requested in Plaintiffs' motion. Specifically, Ford has agreed to "(a) conduct a targeted search for documents and communications related to TSBs 23-2123 and 23-2152; and (b) describe its search for TSB documents, including 'its specific process for locating responsive documents related to the draft TSBs, such as (1) identify which custodians will be subjected to a search for responsive documents, and why (including which custodians were considered but not subjected to a search) and (2) describe the method(s) by which Ford intends to look for such responsive documents.'" (Def.'s Resp. at 7.) As further characterized by Ford, the company "has agreed to conduct a supplemental search for documents related to TSB 23-2123 and TSB 23-2152, and to identify the custodians Ford collects from, to advise whether those custodians are collected through a targeted or search term search, and to confirm whether additional or different search terms or custodians are identified." (Id.) Per its agreement, Ford shall provide the promised documents and information by 9/21/23. Plaintiffs' motion is denied to the extent it seeks an order compelling Ford to re-run searches for the April/May 2023 timeframe, as Ford has confirmed and represented to the Court that "Ford conducted a search in April and May, 2023 to locate information regarding four TSBs [including TSB 23-2123 and TSB 23-2152]" and the company previously "collected and produced responsive documents [concerning TSB 23-2123 and TSB 23-2152]." (Id. at 4.) Plaintiffs' motion is also denied to the extent it requests that Ford further meet and confer concerning the pertinent TSBs, as the record reflects that the parties have already met and conferred in a fulsome fashion, and, as the Court previously recognized, the joint discovery plan in this case provides that the producing party is best situated to decide how to search for and produce ESI responsive to discovery requests. The Court again accepts Ford's representation that it is conducting a good faith search for documents concerning the TSBs. Lastly, Ford's request for costs and fees is denied. The parties are to file a joint status report on discovery by 9/26/23. Mailed notice (lp, )

August 7, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 265 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Maria Valdez: By order of the Court #237 , discovery in this case closed on 7/27/23. The Court requested a final joint status report and received a report #264 describing a panoply of discovery issues that were not raised by motion prior to the close of discovery. Any subsequent request to compel discovery and/or to extend discovery must be made by motion and must meet the standard of "excusable neglect." See Israel v. Bucon, No. 1:17-CV-06452, 2021 WL 4962159, at *2 (N.D. Ill. Mar. 24, 2021); Rose v. United States, No. 18 C 2927, 2020 WL 8258738, at *1 (N.D. Ill. Sept. 24, 2020). Since the parties appear to have partially addressed the factual and legal issues of a possible motion in the final status report, a long briefing schedule is not necessary. Any such motion must be filed within seven days of this order; any response must be filed within five days thereafter; and any reply must be filed within three days following the response.

June 7, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 256 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Maria Valdez: The Court has reviewed the parties' joint status report #255 . The parties apparently disagree as to the interpretation of this Court's 6/1/23 order #254 . The order needs no further interpretation, but evidently the parties nonetheless require additional guidance. First, the Court did not order Defendant to identify for Plaintiffs ahead of time the corporate witness Defendant designates to present testimony regarding eSourceBooks, as Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30 does not require such an identification. Additionally, the Court did not order that Defendant's corporate representative should be prepared to testify regarding immersion events documents, as Plaintiffs did not request such relief in their prior motion to compel. The parties are to file a further joint status report on discovery by 7/6/23. Mailed notice (lp, )

December 20, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 191 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Maria Valdez: Defendant Ford Motor Company's Motion to Compel Discovery from Plaintiffs Gary J. Dastolfo and Sandra A. Dastolfo #173 is granted. The Court finds that the Dastolfo Plaintiffs' two-page response brief #182 essentially fails to substantively respond to the arguments advanced in Ford's motion to compel, such that the Dastolfos have waived their objections to Ford's specific arguments and the specific deficiencies Ford has identified. See Bonte v. U.S. Bank, N.A., 624 F.3d 461, 466 (7th Cir. 2010) ("Failure to respond to an argumentresults in waiver."). Accordingly, within 21 days of this Order, the Dastolfos are ordered to provide further amended responses to Ford's First Set of Interrogatories and First Set of Requests for Production. More specifically, the Dastolfos shall provide amended answers to Ford's Interrogatories that remedy the deficiencies identified by Ford and: remove any disclaimers based on New Jersey state law; remove vague incorporations by reference to other documents; and answer each Interrogatory separately and responsively in writing under oath with signed verifications, including complete answers to Interrogatory Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 13, 14, and 15. The Dastolfos shall also provide amended responses to Ford's Requests for Production that remedy the deficiencies identified by Ford and: specifically state whether the Dastolfos have produced documents responsive to each request; specifically state whether any additional responsive documents exist beyond those already produced; specifically state whether any documents are being withheld on the basis of privilege; and fully respond to Requests for Production Nos. 6, 8, 37, 40, and 44. Additionally, within 21 days of this Order, the Dastolfos shall produce any remaining responsive documents in the Dastolfos' possession, custody, or control, including the video Mr. Dastolfo made of the alleged defect.
