Filing 23 TEXT ORDER: Counsel and parties are required to make a good faith effort to resolve discovery disputes consistent with the requirements of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Local Rules for the District of South Carolina. If a dispute arises regarding discovery, and such good faith efforts are unsuccessful, prior to filing a motion to compel, motion to quash or other motion related to a discovery dispute, counsel for the parties shall first be required to follow the following procedure.Counsel shall inform Judge Cain's Civil Case Manager Kay McAlister in writing at kay_mcalister@scd.uscourts.gov that a discovery dispute exists that requires input from the judge. Counsel shall prepare a joint report identifying the disputed issues and summarizing the positions of the parties. This report shall set forth what efforts have been made to resolve the dispute. If the dispute involves a written interrogatory, request for production or admission, deposition, or subpoena, a copy of the discovery request and the written response should be attached to the informal joint report. Parties should not attach the entire set of interrogatories, request for admission, etc. but only those portions that are disputed. The joint report and attachments do not have to be filed and should be sent to chambers at cain_ecf@scd.uscourts.gov.The report is not a brief and should not set forth arguments or legal authority. That will come later if informal efforts to resolve the dispute are unsuccessful. Fed. R. Civ. P. 1 provides that the federal rules should be construed, administered, and employed by the court and the parties to secure the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of every action and proceeding. The purpose of this procedure is to provide the parties an opportunity to resolve some or all discovery disputes more quickly and in a less expensive manner than the formal process set forth in the Federal Rules, while at the same time conserving scarce, limited judicial resources.The joint report shall be no longer than ten pages in length double spaced. It must contain an affirmation that counsel have conferred in good faith to resolve the disputed issues. SUCH EFFORTS MUST INVOLVE IN-PERSON MEETINGS OR TELEPHONE CONFERENCES. Consultation solely by electronic mail, facsimile or regular mail is not sufficient.Upon receipt of the joint report, the court will decide if a status conference or telephone conference should be held address the dispute and advise the parties accordingly. IT IS SO ORDERED. Entered at the direction of the Honorable Timothy M Cain on 5/22/24. Associated Cases: 8:24-cv-02702-TMC, 8:24-cv-02800-TMC(kmca) |
