May 28, 2021 Filing 90 MINUTE ENTRY ORDER FOR INFORMAL TELEPHONE CONFERENCE held on 5/28/2021 before Magistrate Judge Candace J. Smith regarding a perceived discovery impasse on document production by Defendant Lufkin Industries, Inc., and regarding Plaintiff's informal request for an extension of time to file its Response to Lufkins Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction #61 and for an extension of the parties' discovery deadline relating to that motion. Parties, by and through counsel, participated in the phone conference as noted above; the proceeding was not recorded. The Court noted that this case was not presently in the correct posture for a Step II Discovery Conference. Instead, the Plaintiff sought guidance on filing a motion for an extension of time for its Response to Defendant Lufkins pending Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction (R. 61) and for discovery relating to that motion. The Court advised Plaintiff that if an extension of time was sought, Plaintiff could either file a formal motion in the record or confer with Defendant Lufkins counsel about filing a proposed agreed order. The Court informed the parties it would await any such filing in the record.The Court further heard generally from counsel for Plaintiff and Defendant Lufkin regarding the discovery at issue, namely Plaintiffs Request for Production of Documents Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The Court observed that the parties positions on Plaintiffs discovery requests were clear and that voluntary discussions between the parties would be unlikely to be productive.Accordingly, the Court authorized the parties to file any discovery motions that might be necessary regarding those particular discovery requests.Counsel for the Daimler defendants participated in the call, but stated they had no matters to bring to the Courts attention.
