the contracts at Department Headquarters at a time and place mutually

convenient to both parties.)

Plaintiffs’ counsel may request excerpts of class members’ medical records, as

reasonably necessary, whether or not counsel has previously reviewed the file at the

institution. Plaintiffs’ counsel shall make a good faith effort to specify in each request the

relevant time period for which the records are desired whenever possible.

advance arrangements to review and/or copy the above documents at a time and in a

manner that is mutually convenient for plaintiffs’ counsel and institutional personnel. 

Modification

This stipulation will not prejudice the ability of either party to seek alternative

arrangements for document production or to modify the content of periodic document

production. The parties will meet and confer about any such request and shall comply with

any controlling Court Orders pertaining to dispute resolution prior to resorting to formal

motion procedures before the Court.
