ORDER

Upon consideration of plaintiffs’ motion to compel (Doc. #65), and defendants’

response to the motion (Doc. #66), and for good cause, it is 

ORDERED that the motion is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part as follows:

1. Counsel for both parties are DIRECTED to confer, in person or by telephone, on or

before September 5, 2006 to determine a mutually agreeable date, time and place for

the deposition of Jim Abraham. Counsel for defendants shall initiate the call or

meeting. The deposition shall thereafter go forward at the agreed upon time, without

excuse or exception, unless good cause is shown.

2. Counsel have been before the court many times previously in this and in a related case

(with different plaintiffs’ counsel) for the resolution of multiple discovery disputes,

many of which should have been settled by the lawyers themselves. If counsel cannot

work together in good faith as required by the guidelines to civil discovery for this

district – and, therefore, continue to require the court’s assistance on questions of this

kind – the court will set aside Saturdays at 8 am to hear their disagreements, and it

will impose sanctions against the losing party in accordance with Fed.R.Civ.P.

37(a)(4) in the absence of substantial justification for the losing party’s position.

DONE, this 1st day of September, 2006.
