September 30, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 145 OPINION AND ORDER re: #86 MOTION for Sanctions AGAINST DEFENDANTS JAMIE THOMAS AND JAMES W. BRANNAN AS PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ESTATE OF ROBERT INDIANA. filed by Simon Salama-Caro, RI Catalogue Raisonne LLC, Figure 5 Art LLC, Morgan Art Foundation Limited, Shearbrook (US), LLC. The Court having found that plaintiffs failed to carry their burden as to two threshold elements needed before spoliation sanctions can be assessed, it need not address the hotly-disputed question of whether plaintiffs adequately demonstrated that it was Thomas (as opposed to any of Indiana's other employees, assistants, or caregivers) who was responsible for any deletion of Indiana's emails after Thomas's duty to preserve such evidence arose. Nor is there any reason for the Court to reach the questions of prejudice or for subsection (e)(2) purposes - intent to deprive. Plaintiffs' motion is DENIED. Although the Court left open the possibility of reallocating the costs associated with the FTI Report, see March 6 Order paragraph 6, and the Estate requests that plaintiffs now be required to pay the full costs of that report, see Estate Mem. at 23, the Court in its discretion declines to shift those costs. The FTI Report benefitted all parties. Moreover, Rule 37(e) (unlike, for example, Rule 37(a)) does not include any presumption as to fee- or cost-shifting in the event the motion is denied. To the extent the Estate suggests that the sanctions motion was brought in bad faith or for dilatory purposes, see Estate Mem. at 23, the Court does not so find. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close Dkt No. 213 in Case No. 18-CV-4438 and Dkt. No. 86 in Case No. 18-CV-8231. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Barbara C. Moses on 9/30/2020) (rro)

All discovery, including depositions, shall be STAYED to and including October 9, 2020; The Estate shall respond to plaintiffs' September 21, 2020 letter-motion to stay no later than October 13, 2020; The Estate shall respond to plaintiffs' motion to dismiss no later than October 26, 2020; and All remaining discovery and pretrial deadlines shall be extended by 20 days.

March 17, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 99 ORDER: The President of the United States has declared a national emergency due to the spread of the COVID-19 virus, and the Centers for Disease Control have noted that the best way to prevent illness is to minimize person-to-person contact. In order to protect public health while promoting the "just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of every action and proceeding," Fed. R. Civ. P. 1, it is hereby ORDERED, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(b)(3) and (b)(4), that all depositions in this action may be taken via telephone, videoconference, or other remote means, and may be recorded by any reliable audio or audiovisual means. This Order does not dispense with the requirements set forth in Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(b)(5), including the requirement that, unless the parties stipulate otherwise, the deposition be "conducted before an officer appointed or designated under Rule 28," and that the deponent be placed under oath by that officer. For avoidance of doubt, a deposition will be deemed to have been conducted "before" an officer so long as that officer attends the deposition via the same remote means (e.g., telephone conference call or video conference) used to connect all other remote participants, and so long as all participants (including the officer) can clearly hear and be heard by all other participants. It is further ORDERED, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4), that all unexpired deadlines for the completion of fact depositions, fact discovery, expert depositions, expert discovery, and/or all discovery are hereby EXTENDED for a period of 30 days. Nothing in this Order prevents the parties from seeking to further modify the pretrial schedule in this action in light of the COVID-19 pandemic (or for any other good cause). Prior to seeking such relief, the parties must, as always, meet and confer (via remote means) in a good faith effort to reach agreement on how best to fulfill the goals of Rule 1 while avoiding unnecessary health risks.
