August 22, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 447 ORDER. The Court held a telephonic conference to resolve a dispute between the parties. See ECF #446 . Plaintiffs request that witnesses be permitted to testify via video at the upcoming jury trial. Defendant disagrees and asserts that witnesses should be required to testify in person. Plaintiff's request is DENIED, for the reasons set forth on the record, including (1) that Plaintiffs have not identified which specific witnesses they request be permitted to testify by video; (2) Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 43(a) provides that "[a]t trial, the witnesses' testimony must be taken in open court," which courts have interpreted to require testimony be made in-person, and (3) because technological issues that arise when examining witnesses via video can delay the proceedings and make it more difficult for the jury to evaluate witness testimony. If a particular witness has good cause for appearing via video, Plaintiffs are not foreclosed from making a limited request, with specific support, for that witness to appear via video at a later time.

December 14, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 418 ORDER re 416 DISCOVERY DISPUTE. The Court held a telephonic discovery dispute conference with the parties on 12/13/2022.

July 27, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 412 Order re #411 Status Report. In the parties' #411 Status Report, Defendant states that it "intends s to file a Renewed Motion for Decertification of the FLSA Collective." Before this case was transferred to the undersigned, the Court denied, without prejudice, Defendant's #268 MOTION To Decertify the FLSA Collective Action. See ECF No. 283. Given that, as Defendant points out, a district court may revisit certification of an FLSA collective at any time up to the entry of final judgment, see ECF No. 411 at 2, the Court is not inclined to revisit certification of the FLSA collective at this time. As such, to the extent the Status Report is construed as a request for leave to file a renewed motion for decertification, such request is denied without prejudice. Likewise, because the parties maintain that some additional period of fact and expert discovery is needed, the Court is not inclined at this time to rule on Plaintiffs' request to bifurcate trial of this case. The Court will issue an appropriate order setting deadlines for supplemental fact discovery and expert discovery, and will entertain renewed requests to file the aforementioned motions following the close of all discovery.

December 17, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 381 Exhibit List of Parties Post Evidentiary Hearing by RBS CITIZENS, N.A.. (Hill, Thomas)
December 17, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 380 ORDER re #376 Post-Hearing Filings. Pursuant to the Court's Post-Hearing Order, ECF No. 376, the parties are to file (1) "a final designation of excerpts from depositions offered at the hearing (including any excerpts identified but not read or played into the record at the hearing)" and (2) "a written transcript of each deposition excerpt designated by that party as a separate exhibit to that party's final list of designations." Separately, each party is also to submit to chambers, "on CD or flash drive, any video deposition excerpts played during the hearing." It appears to the Court that Defendant has attempted to file its deposition transcript excerpts under seal. See ECF No. 379 ("Concurrently filed under seal herewith as Exhibits 'A' through 'BB' are true and correct copies of written transcripts of the designations set forth below, marked as 'Confidential' in accordance with the Stipulated Confidentiality and Protective Order dated February 3, 2016 entered by the Court."). Pursuant to that Stipulated Confidentiality and Protective Order, "[i]n the event that any party wishes to submit Confidential Information to the Court, such party shall follow the procedures prescribed by the Court, including seeking leave of Court in order to file any such Material under seal." ECF No. 29 at para. 18. And, pursuant to this District's standing order regarding confidentiality and protective orders, "for Confidentiality or Protective Orders filed on or after July 1, 2005, the Court will not recognize any provision of said orders which allow for the automatic sealing of documents" and "parties wishing to file documents under seal must obtain prior leave of Court for each document that is requested to be filed under seal." 2:05-MC-00045-DWA (available at: https://www.pawd.uscourts.gov/sites/pawd/files/general-ordes/05-45%20Sealed% 20Docs.pdf). Defendant did not seek prior leave to file any documents under seal. Accordingly, Defendant's Designation of Deposition Excerpts, ECF No. 379, is hereby STRICKEN. To the extent either party wishes to file any documents under seal, prior leave to do so must be sought and any such motion must state the grounds that warrant sealing. See In re Avandia, 924 F.3d 662, 672 (3d Cir. 2019) (finding that, pursuant to the common law presumption in favor of public access to judicial materials, "[t]he party seeking to overcome the presumption of access bears the burden of showing 'that the interest in secrecy outweighs the presumption'" and "'that the material is the kind of information that courts will protect and that disclosure will work a clearly defined and serious injury to the party seeking closure.'") (quoting Bank of Am. Nat'l Trust & Sav. Ass'n v. Hotel Rittenhouse Assocs., 800 F.2d 339, 344 (3d Cir. 1986) and Miller v. Ind. Hosp., 16 F.3d 549, 551 (3d Cir. 1994)). In light of the foregoing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the deadline for the parties' deposition designations, deposition transcript excerpts, and separate submission of video clips, originally set for 12/17/2021, is EXTENDED to 12/23/2021.

March 30, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 97 ORDER granting in part and denying in part #91 Motion to Compel Depositions of Certain Opt-In Plaintiffs. The Court finds that, in general, the request of Defendant to compel an additional nine individuals to testify at depositions on the eve of the end of discovery thereon (March 31, 2017) is unreasonable and untimely.

The Court will deny Defendant's Motion to Compel with the exception of Ms. Kraft, who was initially noticed for a deposition on March 3, 2017, but had to cancel at the last minute due to an emergency. The Court will permit Defendant to take her deposition out of time. The parties shall meet and confer (by telephone) to work out a reasonable schedule for Ms. Kraft's deposition. In all other respects, Defendant's Motion is DENIED. Signed by Judge Arthur J. Schwab on 3-30-17. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue.
