August 29, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 463 ORDER signed by MAG/JUDGE L. PATRICK AULD on 8/29/2018, that Plaintiff's instant Motion to Compel Discovery (Docket Entry #439 ) is DENIED. FURTHER ORDERED as set out herein. (Butler, Carol)
August 28, 2018 TEXT ORDER deferring ruling on #396 Motion to Compel Discovery, pending a ruling on #369 Motion for Summary Judgment. Via Text Order dated 09/29/2017, the Court set a discovery deadline of 06/29/2018. On 05/29/2018 (eight months after discovery commenced and one month before it concluded), Plaintiff served Defendant International Business Machines Corporation ("IBM") with [396-1] Requests for Production ("RFPs"). On 06/29/2018, in [396-2] Response to RFPs, IBM objected to [396-1] RFPs, including by asserting that (1) Plaintiff's claim against IBM (which stemmed from Plaintiff's deceased husband's exposure to asbestos while working as a pipefitter during the construction of an IBM plant in the mid- to late-1960s) failed as a matter of law because a general contractor and sub-contractors (not IBM) controlled the construction site at the time the claim arose (such that IBM bore no owner-of-premises-related liability for asbestos exposure during construction), and therefore (2) requiring IBM to respond to the RFPs (most of which address IBM's knowledge of and conduct regarding asbestos risks) would impose an undue burden. On 07/03/2018, IBM filed #369 Motion for Summary Judgment (supported by #371 Memorandum), requesting entry of judgment as a matter of law on Plaintiff's claim(s) and a stay of any further discovery pending a ruling on that request, based on the same assertions presented in [396-2] Response to RFPs. On 07/26/2018, Plaintiff filed #396 Motion to Compel Discovery, seeking compelled responses to most (13 of 17) of [396-1] RFPs, but without addressing the specifics of IBM's arguments about its entitlement to judgment as a matter of law and a stay of discovery. On 08/02/2018, Plaintiff filed #446 Response to #369 Motion for Summary Judgment, opposing IBM's request for judgment as a matter of law, but without addressing IBM's request for a stay of discovery or arguing (pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(d)) that Plaintiff required responses to any of [396-1] RFPs in order to properly respond to #369 Motion for Summary Judgment. On 08/09/2018, IBM filed #451 Response to #396 Motion to Compel Discovery, reiterating its arguments (from [396-2] Response to RFPs and #371 Memorandum) regarding its entitlement to judgment as a matter of law and a stay of discovery, as well as noting the failure of Plaintiff's #446 Response to claim (pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(d)) any need for responses to [396-1] RFPs to properly respond to #369 Motion for Summary Judgment. On 08/16/2018, IBM filed #456 Reply to #446 Response to #369 Motion for Summary Judgment, maintaining its position(s) seeking judgment as a matter of law and a stay of discovery. On 08/23/2018, Plaintiff filed #459 Reply to #451 Response to #396 Motion to Compel Discovery, again omitting any argument (pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(d)) that Plaintiff required responses to [396-1] RFPs to properly respond to #369 Motion for Summary Judgment. Given the foregoing circumstances, including (1) the failure of Plaintiff to articulate any need for responses to [396-1] RFPs to properly respond to #369 Motion for Summary Judgment, and (2) the fact that a favorable ruling for IBM on #369 Motion for Summary Judgment would alleviate any need for IBM to expend resources responding to [396-1] RFPs, the Court exercises its discretion (consistent with authority cited on pages 12 and 13 of #451 Response to #396 Motion to Compel Discovery) to defer any ruling on #396 Motion to Compel Discovery, pending a ruling on #369 Motion for Summary Judgment. The Clerk shall promptly refer #396 Motion to Compel Discovery back to the issuing Magistrate Judge when a ruling is entered on #369 Motion for Summary Judgment. Issued by MAG/JUDGE L. PATRICK AULD on 08/28/2018. (AULD, L.)

August 1, 2018 TEXT ORDER finding as moot #345 Motion for Protective Order, #346 Motion for Protective Order, and #350 Motion for Protective Order. Via #345 Motion, #346 Motion, and #350 Motion (each filed on 06/28/2018), Defendants Riley Power Inc., Honeywell International, Inc., and International Business Machines Corporation, respectively, seek relief from depositions under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30(b)(6) noticed by Plaintiff to occur on 06/29/2018, including on the grounds that Plaintiff failed to provide "reasonable" notice (as required by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30(b)(1)), by serving the deposition notices (which listed numerous topics and incorporated numerous document production requests) on 06/26/2018 or 06/27/2018. Plaintiff waited until 07/12/2018 to file consolidated #386 Response to #345 Motion, #346 Motion, and #350 Motion. In #386 Response, Plaintiff described the noticed deposition date of 06/29/2018 as "tentative," stated that she "did not withdraw her notices of deposition," and referenced an intent to consider "the necessity of a motions [sic] to compel," but argued that, because the noticed date of 06/29/2018 "has now passed" and, "[w]ith no pending or active notice of deposition, [ #345 Motion, #346 Motion, and #350 Motion] are moot." Defendant International Business Machines Corporation did not file a reply contesting the characterization of #350 Motion as moot. However, Defendants Honeywell International, Inc. and Riley Power Inc. filed #392 Reply and #393 Reply, respectively, contending that, despite the passing of the noticed deposition dates, they retained a legally-cognizable interest in resolution of #346 Motion and #345 Motion, respectively, because Plaintiff had expressed an interest in seeking to compel enforcement of the deposition notices. The Court finds the prospect of such litigation too remote and speculative to avoid a finding of mootness. Of note, more than a month has passed since the noticed deposition date of 06/29/2018, which also constituted the discovery deadline, without Plaintiff filing any motion to compel compliance with the deposition notices at issue. Further, under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37(d)(1)(A)(i), to obtain relief for non-compliance with those deposition notices, Plaintiff would have to show that they qualified as "proper notice," which, given the circumstances, it appears she could not possibly show. In light of this finding of mootness, the Court declines to award any expenses under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c)(3). Issued by MAG/JUDGE L. PATRICK AULD on 08/01/2018. (AULD, L.)

July 3, 2018 TEXT ORDER denying #349 Joint Consent Motion for Extension of Several Dates. By Text Order dated 09/29/2017, the Court adopted a Scheduling Order that drew largely from [218-1] Defendants' Proposed Rule 26(f) Individual Report ("Report") and that included a discovery deadline of 06/29/2018, as well as a dispositive motions deadline of 07/30/2018 (i.e., the first business day 30 days after the close of discovery, as provided in Paragraph 3.d. of [218-1] Report and as prescribed by the Local Rules of this Court). On 06/28/2018, Plaintiffs and Defendant Farmers Chemical Association, Inc. ("Farmers") filed #349 Joint Consent Motion seeking (1) an extension until 07/20/2018 for Defendant Farmers to respond to Plaintiffs' First Set of Case-Specific Requests for Production ("C-S RFPs"), (2) an extension to an unidentified date beyond 06/29/2018 for Defendant Farmers to provide a representative for a deposition under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30(b)(6), and (3) an extension to an unidentified date for Defendant Farmers to file a dispositive motion. In support of those three extension requests, Plaintiffs and Defendant Farmers cited the fact(s) that (pursuant to #342 Notice) the trial of this case is set for 01/07/2019, that Plaintiffs' Rule 30(b)(6) deposition notice identifies 23 subjects for examination and includes 23 requests for production of documents, and that "several other corporate and expert depositions are presently scheduled to take place between now and the discovery cutoff." Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b)(4), parties must show "good cause" to obtain an extension of scheduling order deadlines, which (according to the Advisory Committee Notes) requires a showing that the deadlines at issue "cannot reasonably be met despite the diligence of the part[ies] seeking the extension." Plaintiffs and Defendant Farmers have not made any such showing in connection with the extension requests in #349 Joint Consent Motion. First, they have shown neither when Plaintiffs served the C-S RFPs and/or Rule 30(b)(6) deposition notice nor what efforts Defendant Farmers made to respond to the C-S RFPs and/or to comply with the Rule 30(b)(6) Notice since such service. Without such information, the Court cannot find good cause to extend the deadline to respond to the C-S RFPs beyond the discovery deadline to 07/20/2018 and/or the deadline to comply with the Rule 30(b)(6) deposition notice beyond the discovery deadline to an unidentified later date. Second, the parties have not shown why the inability of Defendant Farmers to respond to the C-S RFPs and/or to comply with the Rule 30(b)(6) deposition notice affects in any way the ability of Defendant Farmers to file a timely dispositive motion. Third, the trial date of 01/07/2019 does not say anything about the diligence of the parties and, in fact, weighs against the indefinite extensions sought for the parties to complete the Rule 30(b)(6) deposition and for Defendant Farmers to file a dispositive motion. Fourth, the parties' statement that "several other corporate and expert depositions are presently scheduled to take place between now and the discovery cutoff" makes little sense because "now" (i.e., the date of the filing of #349 Joint Consent Motion) was 06/28/2018 (i.e., the day before "the discovery cutoff"). Issued by MAG/JUDGE L. PATRICK AULD on 07/03/2018. (AULD, L.)

By Text Order dated 09/29/2017, the Court adopted a Scheduling Order that drew largely from [218-1] Defendants' Proposed Rule 26(f) Individual Report ("Report") and that included a discovery deadline of 06/29/2018, as well as a dispositive motions deadline of 07/30/2018 (i.e., the first business day 30 days after the close of discovery, as provided in Paragraph 3.d. of [218-1] Report and as prescribed by the Local Rules of this Court). On 06/29/2018, Plaintiffs and Defendant International Paper Company ("IPC") filed #353 Joint Consent Motion seeking (1) an extension until 07/20/2018 for Defendant IPC to respond to Plaintiffs' First Set of Case-Specific Requests for Production ("C-S RFPs"), (2) an extension to an unidentified date beyond 06/29/2018 for Defendant IPC to provide a representative for a deposition under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30(b)(6), and (3) an extension to an unidentified date for Defendant IPC to file a dispositive motion. In support of those three extension requests, Plaintiffs and Defendant IPC cited the fact(s) that (pursuant to #342 Notice) the trial of this case is set for 01/07/2019, that Plaintiffs' Rule 30(b)(6) deposition notice identifies 23 subjects for examination and includes 23 requests for production of documents, and that "several other corporate and expert depositions are presently scheduled to take place between now and the discovery cutoff."
