Date Filed Document Text
August 1, 2012 Opinion or Order Filing 106 MEMORANDUM & ORDER re: granting in part and denying in part 90 Motion for Summary Judgment. For the foregoing reasons, Butts' motion for summary judgment is GRANTED with respect to Lee's claims for racial and sexual-orientation discrimina tion and GRANTED with respect to Lee's 18 U.S.C. § 664 claim. Butts' motion is DENIED in all other respects.* We take the additional step of REFERRING this case to Magistrate Judge Andrew Peck in the hope that the parties can resolve their dispute consensually. (Signed by Judge Leonard B. Sand on 8/1/2012) (djc)
January 3, 2012 Opinion or Order Filing 77 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER. Plaintiff Gay Lee ("Plaintiff") objects to Magistrate Judge Andrew J. Peck's discovery ruling, made from the bench on December 1, 2011, requiring Plaintiff to bear the cost of her discovery requests. The parties h ave not alleged the existence of any "person... so designated," so the administrator is the "plan sponsor." 29 U.S.C. § 1132(c). The "plan sponsor" for single employer benefits plans is the employer. 29 U.S.C. § ; 1002(16)(B). In this case, therefore, the plan sponsor is NGH, and not the named Defendants. If Plaintiff wishes to sue NGH for failure to abide by 29 U.S. C. § 1132(c)(1), Plaintiff may do so separately. Plaintiff may not, however, shoehorn alleged ERISA violations into Rule 45 document production requests. Judge Peck's December 1, 2011, Discovery Order is hereby affirmed. (Signed by Judge Leonard B. Sand on 1/3/12) (rjm)
