December 22, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 255 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey Cummings: The Court has reviewed the parties' joint status report #233 indicating that Crane Co. produced the document repository index to plaintiffs; Crane Co. served supplemental objections and responses and additional documents to plaintiffs' request for production of documents; and that plaintiffs requested electronic documents previously produced to other plaintiffs' counsel. The parties remain in dispute over plaintiffs' Interrogatory Nos. 3 and 7 with plaintiff seeking supplemental responses or a verification of completeness and Crane Co. claiming that the responses are complete and were previously verified. To eliminate any remaining issue as to the completeness of its responses, Crane Co. shall serve a separate verification on plaintiffs affirming that its responses to the discovery requests at issue are complete by 1/6/22. See, e.g., Hansen v. Country Mut. Ins. Co., No. 18 CV 244, 2020 WL 5763588, at *3 (N.D.Ill. Sept. 28, 2020).Mailed notice (mjc, )
December 22, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 254 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey Cummings: The Court has reviewed the parties' joint status report #232 indicating that Plaintiffs' Interrogatory Nos. 10(A) and 12(A) and Requests for Production Nos. 28, 30-31, and 50 remain in dispute. In essence, defendant Tate Andale, LLC ("Defendant") refuses to respond to interrogatories that seek to have it confirm or deny assertions made by legally distinct entities (such as The Andale Company). Defendant is entitled to take this position so long as it has no knowledge as to what the other legally distinct entities would assert in response to the inquiries in question. With respect to the document requests, Defendant asserts that it has produced all responsive documents in its possession, custody, or control related to: (a) the lube oil coolers manufactured by The Andale Company related to the USS Cony (DD-508) and the Fletcher class destroyers to which the USS Cony belonged; and (b) the specifications, invoices, shipping documentation contracts, and/or purchase agreements related to the lube oil coolers manufactured by The Andale Company prior to 1963. Defendant objects to producing the drawings/blueprints related to remainder of the lube oil coolers manufactured by The Andale Company prior to 1963 and to producing documents created between 1964 and 1985 on the grounds that production of these additional documents would be unduly burdensome and not proportional to the needs of the case. The Court finds that Defendant's position on these disputed matters is reasonable. Nonetheless, the Court orders Defendant to meet and confer with plaintiffs prior to the scheduled Rule 30(b)(6) deposition to the extent that plaintiffs request assistance in locating particular responsive documents within Defendant's production.

Mailed notice (cc, )
December 9, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 238 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey Cummings: Defendant Alfa Laval Inc. has filed a motion for a protective order to stay plaintiffs' deposition of its Rule 30(b)(6) witness which is scheduled for 12/10/21 and any other discovery during the pendency of its motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction. #234 . Plaintiffs have filed a response #236 and Alfa Laval has filed a reply #237 . This case was removed to this Court on 3/22/21 #1 . Since that time, Alfa Laval has answered discovery #118 , served Rule 26 disclosures #120 , answered the amended complaint #149 , and served supplemental answers to discovery [157, 192]. Finally, on 12/2/21, Alfa Laval filed a motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction in which it asserts: (a) it is not incorporated in Illinois; (b) it does not have its principal place of business here; and (c) it has no contacts with this state that would create the exceptional circumstances necessary to establish that it is at home in Illinois and subject to general personal jurisdiction here [234 at 3-4]. These facts, presumably, would have been known by Alfa Laval back in March and its delay in asserting the motion to dismiss based upon them is unexplained. What is clear is that plaintiff served its Rule 30(b)(6) notice of deposition for this deposition on 11/17/21 [234-1] and that the deadline for completion of factual discovery is now eight days away on 12/17/21 #213 . In its discretion, the Court will provide Alfa Laval with a choice. It can either: (1) proceed with the Rule 30(b)(6) deposition tomorrow with the scope of discovery limited to jurisdictional matters as is proposed in its reply [237 at 4] and pay the incremental attorney's fees and costs that plaintiffs incur if its motion to dismiss is denied and plaintiff is forced to resume the Rule 30(b)(6) deposition to complete its questioning as to non-jurisdictional matters; or #2 it can proceed with the Rule 30(b)(6) deposition tomorrow with plaintiffs at liberty to pursue the full scope of their questions. Alfa Laval shall inform plaintiffs' counsel of its choice no later than 3:00 p.m. c.s.t. today (12/9/21). Defendant Alfa Laval's motion for a protective order is granted in part and denied in part on the terms specified above. Mailed notice (cc, )
