ORDER: This Order addresses three issues in advance of the conference scheduled for March 30, 2021. First, the March 30, 2021 conference shall take place by telephone. At the appointed time, the parties shall call (888) 363-4749 and enter access code 5123533.

Plaintiffs' counsel is directed to transmit a copy of this Order to Cane's counsel promptly. Third, the Court is in receipt of Plaintiff's pre-motion submission regarding an anticipated motion for sanctions. (Dkt. #214).

ORDER terminating 198 Letter Motion for Conference; granting in part and denying in part 199 Letter Motion for Local Rule 37.2 Conference. First, the Court adopts Plaintiffs' proposed deposition schedule. (See Dkt. #198). Although Defenda nt is correct that there is not significant overlap between the parties to the Connecticut arbitration and those to the instant litigation, Defendants' counsel had already proposed a similar schedule in January of this year, to which Plaintiffs agreed. (See Dkt. #198, Ex. F). Given the general delay of Defendants and their counsel in setting, and then attempting to alter, that schedule, the Court will resolve the issue by adopting a schedule similar to one to which counsel for the parties initially agreed. Additionally, the Court declines to order that Defendants take the deposition of Plaintiffs' counsel at this time. The Court and the parties will address this issue if and when a trial date is scheduled and Plaintiffs' cou nsel is listed as a trial witness. Second, Plaintiffs' motion to quash is granted in part and denied in part. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(1) provides that "[p]arties may obtain discovery regarding any matter, not privileged, that is relevant to the claim or defense of any party." Relevance under Rule 26 "'is an extremely broad concept.'" Joseph v. Gnutti Carlo S.p.A., No. 15 Civ. 8910 (AJN), 2016 WL 4083433, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. July 25, 2016) (quoting Che n-Oster v. Goldman, Sachs & Co., 293 F.R.D. 557, 561 (S.D.N.Y. 2013)). That said, [d]iscovery may be curtailed where the information sought would be 'unreasonably cumulative or duplicative' or when 'the burden or expense of the propose d discovery outweighs its likely benefit.'" Blagman v. Apple, Inc., No. 12 Civ. 5453 (ALC) (JCF), 2014 WL 1285496, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 31, 2014) (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(2)(C)), as further set forth. Accordingly, the motion to quash is also granted as to topic nine. In sum, Plaintiffs' motion to quash Defendants' third-party subpoenas (Dkt. #199), is granted with respect to topics two, eight, and nine, but is otherwise denied (see Dkt. #204, Ex. 1-8). Additionally, as discussed above, the Court adopts Plaintiffs' proposed deposition schedule. (See Dkt. #198). SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Katherine Polk Failla on 2/9/2021) (mml)
