NOTICE RE DISCOVERY

DISPUTE

The conference tomorrow will be limited to the discovery grievances in Littler’s letter

dated June 1. The discovery grievances in Schneider Wallace’s letter dated June 6 will be heard

at a later conference to be set.

With regard to Littler’s grievances, the ten-deposition limit of Rule 30 has no

application to a case like this where we have 150 opt-in plaintiffs. Each is liable to sit for a

deposition. Plaintiff’s objection is very unreasonable.

Each plaintiff’s case must be adjudicated on its own merits and Dynamex is correct that

it is entitled to reasonable discovery as to each opt-in plaintiff. If an opt-in plaintiff fails to

appear for a deposition, his or her case may be dismissed with prejudice.

All other arguments will be considered at the hearing. 

Please bring to the hearing a list of the names of all opt-in plaintiffs so the judge can rule

from the bench on the date and time of each deposition. The Court urges counsel to meet and
