October 22, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 197 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER denying 191 Motion to Strike Document No. 189 .There has been a serious breakdown in the discovery process in this case, as evidenced by the multitude of discovery motions filed.

Counsel should know that this is an unsuitable manner in which to conduct litigation. S ee, e.g., Family Dollar Stores, Inc. v. United Fabrics International, Inc., No. 11 Civ. 2574, 2012 WL 1123736, at *9 (S.D.N.Y. April 4, 2012) (admonishing counsel for failure to cooperate in discovery).
