STIPULATION

The parties Plaintiff Javier Solis and Defendant Target Corporation, by and through their 

respective counsel hereby stipulate, pursuant to Local Rule 6-144(e), as follows:

1. On September 23, 2016, Defendant filed its Notice of Motion and Motion for Protective 

Order to preclude the deposition of Jessica Klocke-Williams, formerly Target’s Senior Paralegal. 

Pursuant to Local Rule 251(a), Defendant selected October 14, 2016 as the hearing date.

2. On September 28, 2016, the Court issued an order advising it is unavailable to hear 

Defendant’s motion on October 14, 2016. 

3. Good cause exists to hear the matter on shortened notice because the deposition of Ms. 

Klocke-Williams is noticed for October 16, 2016 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is Defendant’s position 

that the deposition is improper because it seeks information and documents protected from disclosure by 

the attorney-client privilege and/or the work product doctrine. However, Plaintiff believes that Ms. 

Klocke-Williams was not a paralegal, and that she possesses discoverable percipient witness information 

and information regarding Target’s reasonable accommodation policy and its implementation that no 

one at the Distribution Center level possesses. Before the parties prepare for and make travel 

arrangements for the deposition, Defendant seeks an order from the court determining the propriety of 

this deposition.

4. Should the deposition go forward, Defendant will also request guidance from the court as 

to the relevant scope of questioning and a mechanism, such as an opportunity to dial the Court for 

guidance during the deposition if the need arises, so as to prevent the disclosure of privileged 

information or to prevent the need to reconvene the deposition at a later date. Such a mechanism will 

save costs and will assist in discovery matters being resolved prior to the approaching discovery cut-off 

date of November 15, 2016.

5. The parties stipulate to an order shortening time for this court to hear Defendant’s motion 

on October 7, 2016, at 10:00 a.m. 

6. The parties further stipulate that their joint statement regarding discovery dispute and 

supporting documents will be filed by October 4, 2016.

7. Should the court be unable to hear the matter on October 7, 2016, the parties agree that 

Ms. Klocke-Williams’ deposition will be continued to a mutually-agreeable date in October, 2016 after 

the court has issued a ruling on Defendant’s motion sufficiently prior to the Discovery Cut-off date so if 

a further dispute arises it may be resolved.
