before the Honorable Edmund F. Brennan of the above entitled Court, with Piya 

Mukherjee appearing on behalf of Plaintiffs and Curtis Graham appearing on behalf of 

Defendant. 

In accordance with Plaintiffs’ Motion to Compel Responses to Discovery, [Doc. 

No. 64], IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant shall respond to Plaintiffs’ 

Interrogatory 1, Set One by Kelly Collier, by serving a supplemental response which 

states the total number of Escrow Officers who at any time during the relevant time 

period were classified as exempt from the payment of overtime and Interrogatory No. 

2, Set One by Kelly Collier, by producing contact information for the putative class 

members, as defined therein, to a Third Party Administrator, in accordance with the 

following: 

1. Plaintiffs have selected Gilardi & Co., LLC as a Third Party 

Administrator for use in this matter. 

2. Defendant shall produce to the Third Party Administrator the names, lastknown address, last-known telephone number, last-known personal email address, if 

any, dates of employment, rate(s) of pay for each pay period, and job title(s) held 

during each pay period of the Escrow Officers who at any time during the relevant 

time period were classified as exempt, by July 23, 2014.1

 

3. Within two (2) business days of receipt of the putative class member 

contact information, the Third Party Administrator shall mail to each member the 

“Belaire West” disclosure opt-out notice along with a postcard for return by putative 

class members who do not wish to have their names, contact information, and

 Plaintiffs’ proposed order requested that defendant provide the contact information for Escrow 

Officers by July 18, 2014. ECF No. 66 ¶ 2. Defendant has filed objections, arguing that it needs at 

least 14 to 21 days to gather the required information. ECF No. 67. As the court granted plaintiffs’ 

motion to compel at the July 9, 2014 hearing, defendant will have until July 23, 2014 to provide 

plaintiff with the contact information for Escrow Officers.

mailing of the “Belaire West” disclosure opt-out notice to return the postcard opting

Third Party Administrator shall compile a list of putative class members who did not 

opt out of the disclosure, and provide that list to Plaintiffs’ counsel.

accordance with this Order shall be used only for the purpose of class discovery in this 

lawsuit, and shall not be used for any other purpose and shall not be disseminated to

member following the production of information provided according to this Order,

terminate the contact and not re-contact the individual.
