ORDER

On October 20, 2005, the Court held a discovery conference call with the parties.

This Order will reflect the Court’s rulings.

1. The Court concluded that Defendant may depose the EEOC investigator in

this case. The deposition will be limited to inquiries about conversations the investigator

had with witnesses, including Mr. Bouamama. The deposition shall not inquire into

conversations the investigator had with EEOC lawyers or other EEOC personnel, nor will

the deposition inquire into conclusions or opinions formed by the invest igator concerning

this case. The deposition shall be strictly limited to a factual inquiry concerning

conversations the investigator had wit h wit nesses and Mr. Bouamama. The Court

concluded that such an inquiry will not invade t he deliberative process or attorney-client

privileges. Moreover, Defendant stated that it has no intention of attacking the underlying

investigation in this case; the deposition is solely to obtain factual information

communicated to the investigator by witnesses.

2. The Court ruled that the EEOC may take five additional two-hour depositions.

These depositions may be taken up to and including November 18, 2005. 

3. The parties had a disagreement about which present and former employees

of Defendant may be interviewed by the EEOC. It was apparent to the Court that the

parties need to discuss this issue further. The Court directed them to do so and to contact

the Court if they are unable to reach agreement
