March 10, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 89 TEXT ORDER: The Court has reviewed the parties' status report filed on March 9, 2022 [D.E. 88].

Also, Defendants appear to seek information concerning the text message in para. 4 of the Complaint, but acknowledge Plaintiff has agreed to provide further examples. Accordingly, the parties are directed to immediately resume their efforts to meet and confer, in an effort to resolve the remaining issues, or at least clarify the substance of the issues and the parties' positions. The parties shall submit a new, revised joint letter addressing each dispute separately, issue by issue, with each party's position on that issue limited to two pages or less. The parties will submit the revised joint memo by March 24, 2022. The parties are advised that if the Court remains unpersuaded that counsel have adequately met and conferred, the Court may require counsel to appear in the Courtroom of the Undersigned at 10:00 a.m., where they will be required to meet and confer until (1) resolution of all remaining discovery disputes, or (2) 4:00 p.m., at which time, if the Court's schedule permits, the Court will address the remaining issues. The 30-day discovery extension is granted. The parties will submit a jointly proposed amended scheduling order reflecting the extension. So Ordered by Magistrate Judge Michael A. Hammer on 3/10/2022.
