February 25, 2022	Filing 74 STATUS Report [Joint] by AT&T Services, Inc. (Clarke, Ariel)
February 24, 2022	Filing 73 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A.

A briefing schedule on this motion is entered as follows: Plaintiff may file a memorandum in support by no later than 5:00 p.m. on 3/2/22, and defendant is ordered to file its response by no later than 5:00 p.m. on 3/9/22 (the response previously having been optional).

February 22, 2022	Filing 72 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: The motion hearing date on the motion to compel (doc. #70 ) is corrected to 1:00 p.m. on 2/28/22. Further, the Court intends to consider the proportionality of the deposition under Rule 26(b)(1) and has reviewed City of Rockford v. Mallinckrodt ARD, Inc., Nos. 17 C 50107, 20 C 50056, 2020 WL 1675593 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 6, 2020), and the cases cited within that opinion. Defendants may file a response by 5:00 p.m. (Central time) on 2/25/22 addressing whether plaintiff has met its burden of making "the strong showing required for an outright denial of the right to depose" Mr. Blase. Id. at 4. The Court is particularly interested in the multifactorial question of whether Tekway may establish that Mr. Blase has "unique personal knowledge of the matter in dispute," whether the information can or could have been garnered from other witnesses or other discovery methods, and whether the witness's sitting for a deposition would impose a hardship in light of his current duties. See id. at 2. The call-in number for the hearing remains unchanged: (888) 684-8852 and the access code is 2006804. Persons granted remote access to proceedings are reminded of the general prohibition against photographing, recording, and rebroadcasting of court proceedings. Violation of these prohibitions may result in sanctions, including removal of court issued media credentials, restricted entry to future hearings, denial of entry to future hearings, or any other sanctions deemed necessary by the Court. Participants are further directed to keep their devices muted when they are not speaking. Mailed notice. (jj, )

Fuentes: On Tekway's motion to compel the defendant of witness Blase (doc. #70), a telephonic hearing on the motion is set for 1 p.m. on 3/28/22. The parties should be prepared to argue the motion at that time, and no further briefing is permitted at this time. The call-in number for the hearing is (888) 684-8852 and the access code is 2006804. Persons granted remote access to proceedings are reminded of the general prohibition against photographing, recording, and rebroadcasting of court proceedings. Mailed notice (sxw)

February 7, 2022	Filing 68 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: On review of the parties' joint status report (doc. #67 ), the 3/1/22 fact discovery cutoff stands and will be the cutoff for all discovery, given the parties' representation that they do not anticipate expert discovery. The report disclosed two possible motions to compel. Any motions to compel discovery are to be filed by no later than noon on 2/18/22 after compliance with Local Rule 37.2, if the disputes are not resolved. A further joint status report on the anticipated closure of discovery is due and to be filed by noon on 2/25/22. Mailed notice. (jj, )

December 14, 2021	Filing 66 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: The parties' joint motion to extend the fact discovery cutoff in this matter to 3/1/22 (doc. #65 ) is granted in view of the parties' report of their efforts to resolve discovery disputes without court intervention. The Court appreciates those efforts. The Court previously described the 12/31/21 fact discovery cutoff date as firm (doc. #57 ), and the extended date of 3/1/22 now should be considered firm. Also, the 1/7/22 status report date is vacated and reset to noon 2/7/22 on anticipated fact discovery schedule and a proposed expert discovery schedule, if expert discovery is anticipated.

November 10, 2021	Filing 59 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: Plaintiff's motion to compel (doc. #57 ) is denied without prejudice for failure to comply with Local Rule 37.2. This marks the second time in this case (doc. #47 ) that an issue has arisen with respect to the filing of a discovery motion without a full and fair Rule 37.2 conference or a proper Local Rule 37.2 certification. The parties' are kindly requested to comply more vigorously with Local Rule 37.2, not just by properly certifying compliance, but by making an honest effort during the in-person or telephonic conference (as Local Rule 37.2 requires an effort to conduct such a conference, as opposed to relying merely on email) to talk the dispute through and consider how reaching an agreement might be preferable to spending the resource necessary to obtain court intervention and resolution. Separately, the parties' joint motion for entry of confidentiality order (doc. #58 ) is granted. Enter Order (submitted to the Court as Exhibit A to the protective order motion). In addition, the parties are directed that discovery documents may not be filed with the Court under seal unless by motion, and unless the motion complies with the common law of this Circuit. See Bond v. Utreras, 585 F.3d 1061, 1073 (7th Cir. 2009) (noting that public "has a presumptive right to access discovery materials that are filed with the court"); Baxter Int'l, Inc. v. Abbott Labs., 297 F.3d 544, 545-46 (7th Cir. 2002) (stating that filed discovery documents "that influence or underpin the judicial decision are open to public inspection unless they meet the definition of trade secrets or other categories of bona fide long-term confidentiality... In civil litigation only trade secrets, information covered by a recognized privilege (such as the attorney-client privilege), and information required by statute to be maintained in confidence (such as the name of a minor victim of sexual assault) is entitled to be kept secret"); Union Oil Co. of Cal. v. Leavell, 220 F.3d 562, 567-68 (7th Cir. 2000) ("Many a litigant would prefer that the subject matter of a case... be kept from the curious (including its business rivals and customers), but the tradition that litigation is open to the public is of very long standing."); Citizens First Nat'l Bank of Princeton v. Cincinnati Ins. Co., 178 F.3d 943, 945-46 (7th Cir. 1999) (warning courts not to allow parties "to seal whatever they want" and urging them to apply "a neutral balancing of the relevant interests" in connection with any good-cause determination presented by a motion to seal). Parties moving to seal are directed to review the foregoing case law, and any motion to seal will be taken by the Court as a certification that the movant has read the applicable case law and has ensured that it is making a good-faith argument that the document in question qualifies for sealing under the Seventh Circuit's stringent standards. Mailed notice. (jj, )
November 9, 2021	Filing 58 MOTION by Defendant AT&T Services, Inc. for protective order [Joint] (Siegel, Kathryn)
November 8, 2021	Filing 57 MOTION by Plaintiff Tekway Inc. to compel (Attachments: #1 Exhibit 1, #2 Exhibit 1A, #3 Exhibit 1B, #4 Exhibit 1C, #5 Exhibit 1D, #6 Exhibit 1E, #7 Exhibit 1F, #8 Exhibit 1G, #9 Exhibit 1H, #10 Exhibit 1I, #11 Exhibit 1J, #12 Exhibit 2)(Mathias, Damon)
November 8, 2021	Filing 56 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: The Court's proposed order email box has received a proposed agreed confidentiality order but no motion for the entry of such order. The parties are kindly requested once again (doc. #45 ) to review the Court's Standing Order for Civil Cases Before Magistrate Judge Fuentes, including the passage in that order about protective orders, and submit their motion (and any revised proposed order) with particular attention to Paragraph 7 of the proposed order. The Court will then act on such motion in the ordinary course. Mailed notice. (jj, )

September 30, 2021	Filing 53 MOTION by Defendant AT&T Services, Inc. to withdraw Kendell R. Coates, MOTION by Defendant AT&T Services, Inc. to substitute attorney Casey Kaiser and Ariel Clarke (Clarke, Ariel)
September 29, 2021	Filing 52 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: The Court received notice from one of the parties that defendant will not renew its protective order as a result of further Local Rule 37.2 consultations with plaintiff. The Court commends the parties on their diligence in resolving discovery disagreements without judicial intervention. The Court vacates the briefing schedule entered (doc. #51 ) on 9/22/21. In addition, the parties previously having jointly requested a 60-day extension of the 10/22/21 fact discovery cutoff (doc. #48 ), and the Court having deferred that issue pending resolution of the dispute over the protective order motion (doc. #49 ), the Court now sua sponte extends fact discovery to 12/31/21 to accommodate the parties in the completion of discovery. The parties should consider the date to be firm. A joint status report is due and to be filed by noon on 1/7/22 on the anticipated closure of discovery and whether any expert discovery is proposed; if so, the parties should confer under Rule 26(f) and submit a proposed agreed or contested schedule. If not, all discovery will have closed on 12/31/21, a date that now should be considered firm. Mailed notice. (jj, )
September 22, 2021	Filing 51 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: The Court apologizes for having added to any confusion over what is supposed to happen on renewal of the defendant AT&T Services's motion for protective order regarding plaintiff's requests for admissions (doc. #43 ). In an effort to conserve public resources, the Court initially noted that a full and fair Rule 37.2 conference had not occurred, and the Court set a schedule for the parties to confer and for defendant to file a renewed motion in the event a proper Rule 37.2 conference did not resolve the dispute (doc. #47 ). The Court also directed that if the renewed motion were to become necessary, "defendant shall share it in a draft form with plaintiff's counsel by noon on 9/14/21, so that plaintiff's counsel may transmit to defense counsel plaintiff's opposition to any such motion for inclusion into the renewed motion to compel." (Id.) Defendant then filed a motion for additional time to renew its motion, to allow time over the important religious holidays for the Rule 37.2 conference (doc. #48 ). The Court readily granted this motion, stating that the renewed motion could be filed by 9/29/21, and directing that "plaintiff" was to supply "defense counsel" with "its response to that motion" by noon on 9/24/21 (doc. #49 ). This order was confusing, in that it did not specify when defendant should supply its draft motion to plaintiff, and the Court compounded the confusion today, when, in an attempt to provide a prompt response to a telephonic request for clarification to chambers, the Court entered an order (doc. #50 ) stating erroneously that the plaintiff was to provide the draft to the defense on 9/24/21, when clearly the intention was to have the defendant give plaintiff the draft so that plaintiff could respond in time for the response to be included in the renewed motion. So, three orders after the Court sought to inject efficiency into the process, the Court hopes to put an end to the confusion by just entering a standard briefing schedule. Renewed motion to compel due and to be filed by noon on 9/29/21, with the required and fully compliant Local Rule 37.2 certification. Response due and to be filed by noon on 10/6/21. No reply is permitted without leave of court. The Court will rule by CM-ECF. The Court again expresses its regret for any confusion. Mailed notice. (jj, )
September 22, 2021	Filing 50 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: To reiterate, after a telephonic inquiry was received in chambers today: The plaintiff having indicated that the discovery dispute is not resolved and that additional time is needed for filing of the motion to compel, the Court in its last order (doc. #49 ) granted that request and allowed the motion to be filed by 9/29/21. The Court has further directed plaintiff to send a draft of its motion to defense counsel by noon on 9/24/21 so that defense counsel can formulate its response and send that response to plaintiff for inclusion in the motion to compel to be filed on 9/29/21, all with a view toward allowing the Court to decide the question more efficiently. Mailed notice. (jj, )
September 15, 2021	Filing 49 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: On defendant's motion for extension of time (doc. #48 ), the motion is partially granted and partially denied without prejudice. The extension to 9/29/21 to file the motion for protective order based on requests for admission is granted, with plaintiff to supply defense counsel with its response to that motion by noon on 9/24/21. The request for a 60-day extension of the discovery cutoff of 10/22/21 is denied without prejudice and will be taken up again once the Court resolves any dispute over requests to admit or is advised that such dispute has been resolved without judicial intervention. Mailed notice. (jj, )
September 15, 2021	Filing 48 MOTION by Defendant AT&T Services, Inc. for extension of time Joint Status Report and Motion for Extension of Discovery and Dates Set Re: Defendant's Motion for Protective Order (Coates, Kendell)
September 7, 2021	Filing 47 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: On defendant's motion for protective order concerning plaintiff's request for admission (doc. #43), it is plain from plaintiff's response (doc. #46) that although defendant included the required certification of compliance with Local Rule 37.2, a full and fair opportunity to confer in person or by telephone on the disputed requests for admission, or on any attempt to narrow the dispute, did not occur, and plaintiff is open to it occurring. Consequently, the motion is denied without prejudice, and the parties are directed to confer under Local Rule 37.2 and to make themselves available in good faith for such a conference before the close of business on 9/10/21. A renewed motion may be filed (advancing requests for judicial relief only as to the specifically identified Rule 36 requests still in dispute) by noon on 9/17/21, or, alternatively, a status report stating that the conference has rendered the motion unnecessary, by noon on 9/13/21. If a renewed motion is necessary, defendant shall share it in draft form with plaintiff's counsel by noon on 9/14/21, so that plaintiff's counsel may transmit to defense counsel plaintiff's opposition to any such motion for inclusion into the renewed motion to compel for filing on 9/17/21. The parties are encouraged to work reasonably with each other to resolve their disputes as best they can. Mailed notice (lxs, )

August 27, 2021	Filing 45 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: This matter coming before the Court on referral for discovery supervision (doc. #44 ) including defendant's motion for protective order (doc. #43 ), with the district court previously having set a discovery cutoff of 10/22/21, the magistrate judge makes no adjustments to the discovery schedule and orders that plaintiff file a written response to the protective order motion by noon on 9/3/21. The Court will then either rule, set a hearing, or seek additional briefing. Further, the parties are directed to review the Court's Standing Order for Civil Cases Before Magistrate Judge Fuentes, available on the Court's website. Mailed notice. (jj, )

Id. at *4. The Court is particularly interested in the multifactorial question of whether Tekway may establish that Mr. Blase has "unique personal knowledge of the matter in dispute," whether the information can or could have been garnered from other witnesses or other discovery methods, and whether the witness's sitting for a deposition would impose a hardship in light of his current duties.

The Court appreciates those efforts. The Court previously described the 12/31/21 fact discovery cutoff date as firm (doc. #57 ), and the extended date of 3/1/22 now should be considered firm. Also, the 1/7/22 status report date is vacated and reset to noon 2/7/22 on anticipated fact discovery schedule and a proposed expert discovery schedule, if expert discovery is anticipated.

November 10, 2021

Filing 59 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: Plaintiff's motion to compel (doc. #57 ) is denied without prejudice for failure to comply with Local Rule 37.2. This marks the second time in this case (doc. #47 ) that an issue has arisen with respect to the filing of a discovery motion without a full and fair Rule 37.2 conference or a proper Local Rule 37.2 certification. The parties' are kindly requested to comply more vigorously with Local Rule 37.2, not just by properly certifying compliance, but by making an honest effort during the in-person or telephonic conference (as Local Rule 37.2 requires an effort to conduct such a conference, as opposed to relying merely on email) to talk the dispute through and consider how reaching an agreement might be preferable to spending the resource necessary to obtain court intervention and resolution. Separately, the parties' joint motion for entry of confidentiality order (doc. #58 ) is granted. Enter Order (submitted to the Court as Exhibit A to the protective order motion). In addition, the parties are directed that discovery documents may not be filed with the Court under seal unless by motion, and unless the motion complies with the common law of this Circuit. See Bond v. Utreras, 585 F.3d 1061, 1073 (7th Cir. 2009) (noting that public "has a presumptive right to access discovery materials that are filed with the court"); Baxter Int'l, Inc. v. Abbott Labs., 297 F.3d 544, 545-46 (7th Cir. 2002) (stating that filed discovery documents "that influence or underpin the judicial decision are open to public inspection unless they meet the definition of trade secrets or other categories of bona fide long-term confidentiality... In civil litigation only trade secrets, information covered by a recognized privilege (such as the attorney-client privilege), and information required by statute to be maintained in confidence (such as the name of a minor victim of sexual assault) is entitled to be kept secret"); Union Oil Co. of Cal. v. Leavell, 220 F.3d 562, 567-68 (7th Cir. 2000) ("Many a litigant would prefer that the subject matter of a case... be kept from the curious (including its business rivals and customers), but the tradition that litigation is open to the public is of very long standing."); Citizens First Nat'l Bank of Princeton v. Cincinnati Ins. Co., 178 F.3d 943, 945-46 (7th Cir. 1999) (warning courts not to allow parties "to seal whatever they want" and urging them to apply "a neutral balancing of the relevant interests" in connection with any good-cause determination presented by a motion to seal). Parties moving to seal are directed to review the foregoing case law, and any motion to seal will be taken by the Court as a certification that the movant has read the applicable case law and has ensured that it is making a good-faith argument that the document in question qualifies for sealing under the Seventh Circuit's stringent standards.

September 29, 2021

Filing 52 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: The Court received notice from one of the parties that defendant will not renew its protective order as a result of further Local Rule 37.2 consultations with plaintiff. The Court commends the parties on their diligence in resolving discovery disagreements without judicial intervention. The Court vacates the briefing schedule entered (doc. #51 ) on 9/22/21. In addition, the parties previously having jointly requested a 60-day extension of the 10/22/21 fact discovery cutoff (doc. #48 ), and the Court having deferred that issue pending resolution of the dispute over the protective order motion (doc. #49 ), the Court now sua sponte extends fact discovery to 12/31/21 to accommodate the parties in the completion of discovery. The parties should consider the date to be firm. A joint status report is due and to be filed by noon on 1/7/22 on the anticipated closure of discovery and whether any expert discovery is proposed; if so, the parties should confer under Rule 26(f) and submit a proposed agreed or contested schedule. If not, all discovery will have closed on 12/31/21, a date that now should be considered firm. Mailed notice. (jj, )

September 22, 2021

Filing 51 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: The Court apologizes for having added to any confusion over what is supposed to happen on renewal of the defendant AT&T Services's motion for protective order regarding plaintiff's requests for admissions (doc. #43 ). In an effort to conserve public resources, the Court initially noted that a full and fair Rule 37.2 conference had not occurred, and the Court set a schedule for the parties to confer and for defendant to file a renewed motion in the event a proper Rule 37.2 conference did not resolve the dispute (doc. #47 ). The Court also directed that if the renewed motion were to become necessary, "defendant shall share it in a draft form with plaintiff's counsel by noon on 9/14/21, so that plaintiff's counsel may transmit to defense counsel plaintiff's opposition to any such motion for inclusion into the renewed motion to compel." (Id.) Defendant then filed a motion for additional time to renew its motion, to allow time over the important religious holidays for the Rule 37.2 conference (doc. #48 ). The Court readily granted this motion, stating that the renewed motion could be filed by 9/29/21, and directing that "plaintiff" was to supply "defense counsel" with "its response to that motion" by noon on 9/24/21 (doc. #49 ). This order was confusing, in that it did not specify when defendant should supply its draft motion to plaintiff, and the Court compounded the confusion today, when, in an attempt to provide a prompt response to a telephonic request for clarification to chambers, the Court entered an order (doc. #50 ) stating erroneously that the plaintiff was to provide the draft to the defense on 9/24/21, when clearly the intention was to have the defendant give plaintiff the draft so that plaintiff could respond in time for the response to be included in the renewed motion. So, three orders after the Court sought to inject efficiency into the process, the Court hopes to put an end to the confusion by just entering a standard briefing schedule. Renewed motion to compel due and to be filed by noon on 9/29/21, with the required and fully compliant Local Rule 37.2 certification. Response due and to be filed by noon on 10/6/21. No reply is permitted without leave of court. The Court will rule by CM-ECF. The Court again expresses its regret for any confusion. Mailed notice. (jj, )

September 22, 2021

Filing 50 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: To reiterate, after a telephonic inquiry was received in chambers today: The plaintiff having indicated that the discovery dispute is not resolved and that additional time is needed for filing of the motion to compel, the Court in its last order (doc. #49 ) granted that request and allowed the motion to be filed by 9/29/21. The Court has further directed plaintiff to send a draft of its motion to defense counsel by noon on 9/24/21 so that defense counsel can formulate its response and send that response to plaintiff for inclusion in the motion to compel to be filed on 9/29/21, all with a view toward allowing the Court to decide the question more efficiently. Mailed notice. (jj, )

September 15, 2021

Filing 49 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: On defendant's motion for extension of time (doc. #48 ), the motion is partially granted and partially denied without prejudice. The extension to 9/29/21 to file the motion for protective order based on requests for admission is granted, with plaintiff to supply defense counsel with its response to that motion by noon on 9/24/21. The request for a 60-day extension of the discovery cutoff of 10/22/21 is denied without prejudice and will be taken up again once the Court resolves any dispute over requests to admit or is advised that such dispute has been resolved without judicial intervention. Mailed notice. (jj, )

Filing 48 MOTION by Defendant AT&T Services, Inc. for extension of time Joint Status Report and Motion for Extension of Discovery and Dates Set Re: Defendant's Motion for Protective Order (Coates, Kendell)

September 7, 2021

Filing 47 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: On defendant's motion for protective order concerning plaintiff's request for admission (doc. #43), it is plain from plaintiff's response (doc. #46) that although defendant included the required certification of compliance with Local Rule 37.2, a full and fair opportunity to confer in person or by telephone on the disputed requests for admission, or on any attempt to narrow the dispute, did not occur, and plaintiff is open to it occurring. Consequently, the motion is denied without prejudice, and the parties are directed to confer under Local Rule 37.2 and to make themselves available in good faith for such a conference before the close of business on 9/10/21. A renewed motion may be filed (advancing requests for judicial relief only as to the specifically identified Rule 36 requests still in dispute) by noon on 9/17/21, or, alternatively, a status report stating that the conference has rendered the motion unnecessary, by noon on 9/13/21. If a renewed motion is necessary, defendant shall share it in draft form with plaintiff's counsel by noon on 9/14/21, so that plaintiff's counsel may transmit to defense counsel plaintiff's opposition to any such motion for inclusion into the renewed motion to compel for filing on 9/17/21. The parties are encouraged to work reasonably with each other to resolve their disputes as best they can. Mailed notice (lxs, )

Fuentes: This matter coming before the Court on referral for discovery supervision (doc. #44 ) including defendant's motion for protective order (doc. #43 ), with the district court previously having set a discovery cutoff of 10/22/21, the magistrate judge makes no adjustments to the discovery schedule and orders that plaintiff file a written response to the protective order motion by noon on 9/3/21.
