Filing 93
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: By September 7, 2023, Plaintiff shall file a statement on the docket regarding whether she intends to proceed with this action as against Defendant Stephen Molloy. The docket reflects that a waiver of service was filed as to the defendant Stephan Malloy on 11/18/21, but he has never filed an appearance, nor has he filed a responsive pleading. Plaintiff has taken no action under the FRCP to seek entry of default. Given the lengthy period of time that has passed, the Court is inclined to dismiss the action as to Defendant Stephen Malloy only for want of prosecution. Before doing so, however, the Court will provide Plaintiff an opportunity to address the matter. If she intends to proceed with a default, the statement must detail her timeframe for doing so. Mailed notice. (jlj, )

MINUTE entry before the Honorable M.

The Joint Status Report should include: 1) Any remaining issues on already issued written discovery between the parties. To the extent a party believes motion practice is necessary, the party should provide a brief description of the issue and a proposed schedule for motion practice. Barring extraordinary circumstances, the Court will not entertain motion practice at a later date regarding any discovery between the parties that has already been issued and answered as of the date of the next Joint Status Report. 2) Any issues related to third-party discovery, including obtaining plaintiff's employment records and medical records (including mental health records). Again, to the extent any issues remain, the party should provide a brief description of the issue and a proposed schedule for motion practice. 3) A confirmed deposition schedule. See 5 and 6 of Joint Status Report, which contains proposed dates. Finally, as to defendant Malloy, there is no indication in the current Joint Status Report that defendant Malloy was even contacted, let alone participated in the preparation of the Joint Status Report. While perhaps not advisable, Mr. Malloy may represent himself in this civil matter. More importantly, as this matter now stands, defendant Malloy IS representing himself. Therefore, defendant Malloy MUST be included in all future Joint Status Reports and scheduling efforts (or at least counsel must attempt to include him). If counsel attempt to include defendant Malloy and he is not willing to cooperate in the preparation of the Joint Status Report and/or other scheduling efforts, the Joint Status Report should reflect the same. Parties shall dial in using the Court's conference call-in number. The conference call-in number is 1-877-411-9748 and the passcode is 1814539. Mailed notice (ao, )

MOTION by Defendant Ford Motor Company for order (Amended Motion for Entry of Proposed Agreed Confidentiality Order) (Millman, Timothy)
|
|
Filing 24
MINUTE entry before the Honorable M. David Weisman: The Court denies without prejudice the parties' joint motion for entry of a confidentiality order #20 because the proposed order's definition of confidential information is too vague. Specifically, it is not clear what information falls into the categories of "other personal information, the disclosure of which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy" and "other documents or testimony properly the subject of a protective order under the rules governing these proceedings, and designated in good faith by any producing party to be confidential," as used in paragraphs 2(e) and (h) of the proposed order. If the parties file an amended motion for entry of a confidentiality order, they should send both a red-lined and a clean copy of the amended proposed order to the Court's proposed order email. Mailed notice (ao, )
