SECOND DISCOVERY ORDER

Chief Judge Walker has referred to me a “flurry of

discovery disputes” in these related cases. IT IS HEREBY

ORDERED as follows:

1. The protective order available on the court's website

is entered provisionally. The parties shall provide discovery

pursuant to it forthwith. By February 1, 2006, the parties

shall either stipulate to this protective order or each

unwilling party shall explain to the court in a letter of no

more than two pages also served on opposing counsel, why it is

unwilling to do so. 

2. Inasmuch as this court has little experience in

“interrogatory sub-part counting,” the parties are ORDERED by

January 27, 2006, to meet in accordance with the Initial

Case 3:05-cv-00098-VRW Document 57 Filed 01/23/06 Page 1 of 2

Discovery Order previously entered in these cases and confer

in a good faith effort to resolve this issue. If they cannot,

the party seeking court intervention shall lodge a record of

that session with the court by no later than February 1, 2006

and file and serve a letter of no more than two pages

explaining the remaining problems. The opposing party shall

file a similar letter setting forth its position within 48

hours of receiving a letter request court intervention. The

court will then schedule such hearings as it deems

appropriate.
