Mr. Okon J. Usoro P.C.

Suite 300 

Houston, TX 77077 

Re: Blakley v. Schlumberger, 4:08-cv-04120-WRW.

Dear Mr. Usoro: 

I will not pre-judge Defendant’s Motion for Protective Order (Doc. No. 29), but it does appear to me

that you are over-eggin’ the puddin’ with your discovery requests. Before I do any appreciable work

on the project, please “meet and confer” (you may do it by telephone, but doing it is mandatory) with

opposing counsel before noon, Central Standard Time, next Tuesday, January 19, 2010; and

immediately advise me of the results of your “meet and confer” efforts by email or fax, by noon of

that afternoon. 

I expect genuine, bonafide, real, good-faith,* efforts to resolve the discovery dispute. If it is not

resolved by noon of next Tuesday, we will have an on-the-record telephone conference at 4:00 p.m.,

Central Standard Time, Tuesday, January 19, 2010. I expect that the telephone conference will be

short, and I would expect my rulings to be likewise. 

I look forward to hearing from you.

Cordially,

/s/ Wm. R. Wilson, Jr.

Original to the Clerk of the Court

cc: Other Counsel of Record

*please excuse the verbosity and redundancies, but I want to make sure I am understood.
