August 11, 2017	Filing 156 Letter Motion from Cathleen Kelly Rebar for Maria Carpio, Correctional Medical Care, Inc., Silver Masaba, Emre Umar requesting Conference Prior to Making an Application under Fed. R. Civ. P 30(d)(3)(A) submitted to Judge Stewart . (Kelly Rebar, Cathleen)
July 28, 2017	Filing 155 TEXT ONLY ORDER: By Letter-Request, Dkt. No. #148 , Plaintiff's Counsel asks the Court for a conference to discuss his intention to amend the Amended Complaint, Dkt. No. #52 , and seeks clarification of a prior Order issued by the Court. On July 26, 2017, the Court held a conference with the parties, on the record, at which time Plaintiff temporarily withdrew the request to amend pending further review of the need to amend. With regard to the request for clarification, Plaintiff's Counsel asked for clarification of this Court's July 6, 2017 Order, Dkt. No. #145 , which denied his request for production of Part Two of the Public Health Solutions ("PHS") Report. Counsel inquires whether the Court's July 6th Order bars the Plaintiff from utilizing that portion of Part Two of the PHS Report which he had received in a separate case, Lynch v. Corr. Medical Care, pursuant to an order issued in that case by the Honorable Andrew T. Baxter, United States Magistrate Judge. Dkt. No. #148 . In Judge Baxter's Order, the Plaintiff was authorized to utilize redacted portions of Part Two of the Report in connection with the Lynch matter precisely because Part Two made specific reference to the correctional facility (Ulster County Jail) that was at issue in that case. Judge Baxter's order and associated protective order both contained a restriction that the document could not be utilized in another proceeding without a separate order from the presiding judge in that proceeding. Lynch v. Corr. Medical Care, Civ. No. 14-CV-686 (DNH/ATB), at Dkt. Nos. 66, 71, & 78. My prior July 6th Order concluded that production of Part Two of the PHS Report is not authorized, as it is not proportionally relevant to the needs of this particular case. Accordingly, the restrictions imposed by Judge Baxter remain and are not lifted by this Court's July 6, 2017 Order. In light of Plaintiff's request for clarification, the Court grants Plaintiff an extension of time by which to appeal this Court's July 6, 2017 Order, to August 11, 2017. SO ORDERED. Signed by Magistrate Judge Daniel J. Stewart on 7/28/17.(rlh)
July 28, 2017	Filing 154 TEXT ONLY ORDER re Letter-Request, Dkt. Nos. #147 & #151 : Plaintiff's Counsel previously made an application to the Court for a conference regarding certain discovery responses provided by CMC Defendants. See Dkt. No. #129 . The Court has ruled on a portion of that dispute concerning the notes of Renee Leonard. Dkt. No. 153. After conferring further with the parties, I direct that the parties shall meet and confer with the aim of resolving/narrowing any outstanding discovery disputes. If upon the conclusion of such consultation there remains outstanding disputes, the parties shall re-submit a request for Court intervention specifically outlining the remaining disputes. SO ORDERED. Signed by Magistrate Judge Daniel J. Stewart on 7/28/17.(rlh)
July 28, 2017	Filing 153 TEXT ONLY ORDER: By Letter-Motion (Dkt. No. #129 ), Plaintiff's Counsel sought Court intervention to deal with certain discovery issues surrounding Defendant Correctional Medical Care's ("CMC") responses to Plaintiff's document demands. These issues were discussed at varying lengths at two separate Court conferences. By this Text Order, the Court deals with that portion of Plaintiff's Letter-Motion that deals with the handwritten notes of Renee Leonard. Counsel for CMC opposed the production, claiming several privileges, Dkt. No. #149 , and Plaintiff's Counsel submitted a reply to those arguments, Dkt. No. #150 . The subject handwritten notes were provided to the Court for in camera review, bate stamped confidential 705-710. On July 26, 2017, the Court heard further argument from the parties. As noted during that conference, I find that Ms. Leonard's notes are indeed relevant in light of the claims and defenses asserted by the parties herein. I further adopt the reasoning applied in the Helijas and Zikianda matters, and find that privileges with regard to peer review, self critical analysis, quality control, and/or deliberative process are not applicable. See Helijas v. CMC, et al., Civ. No. 1:15-CV-1049, at Dkt. No. 135; Zikianda v. City of Albany, 2013 WL 936446 (N.D.N.Y. Mar. 8, 2013). Accordingly, for all the reasons stated on the record, which are incorporated herein, I direct that the six pages of notes of Renee Leonard shall be provided to all parties. I further grant the CMC Defendant's request for a protective order to the extent that, at this discovery stage, the notes shall be provided to all counsel under the same Protective Order which applies to the disclosure of the personnel records of the two Defendant Nurses. See Dkt. No. #88 . It is further ordered that there is a temporary order of protection over Ms. Leonard's deposition and there shall be no disclosure of such deposition until further order from the Court. Signed by Magistrate Judge Daniel J. Stewart on 7/28/17.(rlh)
July 26, 2017	Filing 152 TEXT Minute Entry for proceedings held before Magistrate Judge Daniel J. Stewart: Discovery Hearing held on 7/26/2017. Appearances: Elmer Keach, Esq., for Plaintiff; Seth Myer, Esq., Molly Casey, Esq., Tracy Murphy, Esq., and Jeff Hurd, Esq., for Defendants. Court discusses outstanding discovery issues. Court addresses Dkt. No. #129 and rules that Renee Leonard's notes, which were submitted to the Court for in camera review, shall be disclosed to all parties and is subject to the same protective order previously issued by the Court with regard to personnel files. Court also provides parameters for the deposition of Renee Leonard, scheduled to occur on 7/27/17 at the courthouse. Court ruled on the request for clarification (Dkt. No. #148 ) and provides an extension of time to appeal. Court discusses the status with regard to Gloria Cooper, whom Plaintiff may or may not seek to join as a defendant. Lastly, the Court grants permission to take Renee Leonard's deposition by video and reserves on whether a gag order will be issued with regard to such video.

The Court has issued separate orders in connection with the request to redact the February 27, 2017 transcript, as well as the request to resolve the outstanding dispute concerning a protective order. As to the remaining issues, Plaintiff's counsel is granted permission to file a Motion to Compel concerning documents maintained by a nonparty and recently subpoenaed. Plaintiff's counsel is to consult with counsel for the County of Albany concerning the "death investigation log" that is apparently in dispute. Plaintiff's counsel is to advise the Court within one week if he wishes the Court to assist in obtaining the order of filiation from the Albany County Family Court. On the issue of depositions, Plaintiff's counsel has indicated an intent to do approximately 17 depositions. The Court is not authorizing depositions in excess of the number provided for under Rule 30 at this time, and directs Plaintiff's counsel to pick the 10 most important individuals to depose immediately. In light of the upcoming discovery deadline, the parties are directed to work together and propose an aggressive deposition schedule for the months of May and June, and to have that schedule ready to review at the conference with the Court that is set for Friday, April 28, 2017 at 3:00pm in Albany. Unless otherwise agreed, the depositions will take place at the Federal Courthouse in Albany, and should begin at 9:30 AM and end no later than 5:00 PM. The Court reserves on the parties joint request to extend the discovery and expert deadlines. The CMC Defendants' request to have the Court appoint a monitor to oversee discovery, and to charge the cost of that monitor to Plaintiff and her counsel, is denied. The parties are again counseled on the need for courtesy and civility in this unnecessarily contentious litigation. Signed by Magistrate Judge Daniel J. Stewart on 4/26/2017. (Stewart, Daniel)

September 30, 2016	Filing 25 TEXT ORDER. A conference was held with the Court and all counsel regarding certain discovery disputes which have arisen. It is noted that counsel for Defendant Correctional Medical Care ("CMC") has recently changed, and this in part explains the delay in providing responses to Plaintiff's document demands.

By that date, counsel for defendant CMC will also provide basic information concerning any excess insurance policy. The case is exempted from the mandatory mediation program, but the parties are encouraged to contact the Court at any point when a court-conducted settlement conference is felt to be productive. The deadline to file a Motion to Amend the Complaint is extended to November 18, 2016, and Plaintiffs counsel is encouraged to provide a proposed Amended Complaint to defense counsel for review prior to filing a formal motion, but the requirement of a pre-motion conference is hereby waived. The discovery deadline in this case is extended to June 30, 2017. The motion filing deadline is likewise extended to August 1, 2017. Plaintiff's counsel is to file a status report on the matter on or before November 18, 2016.
