ORDER FOLLOWING INITIAL CASE

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE 

On January 30, 2006, the Court conducted an Initial Case Management Conference

in the above-referenced case. For reasons articulated more thoroughly on the record, the

Court ORDERS as follows:

1. By February 20, 2006, at 4:00 p.m., each party must produce the documents

identified in their Rule 26 initial disclosures to the opposing party. In addition, defendants

must produce the documents responsive to plaintiff's previously served Request for

Production of Documents, and plaintiffs must produce all relevant documents that bear on

the issues disputed by the parties.

2. During the week of February 27, 2006, the parties must meet and confer

regarding the depositions and/or further document discovery, if any, necessary to position the

case for a meaningful mediation.

3. By no later than March 6, 2006, plaintiff's counsel must submit a letter that (i)

describes the parties' joint plan regarding additional discovery to be completed prior to the

mediation, and (ii) informs the Court regarding the date on which mediation has been

scheduled with Judge Westerfield.

4. After receiving plaintiff's counsel's correspondence, the Court will select a date

approximately three weeks following the mediation on which to conduct a Further Case

Management Conference. 

5. As the parties have agreed to limit their discovery during the first stage of the

proceedings to information essential to meaningful settlement negotiations, the court

preserves the parties' full discovery and motion practice rights (should occasion arise later

in the pretrial period to exercise those rights). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
