Lisa Piazza

Plaintiff,

v. Case No.: 1:20−cv−03187

Honorable Mary M. Rowland

New Albertsons, Inc., et al.

Defendant.

NOTIFICATION OF DOCKET ENTRY

This docket entry was made by the Clerk on Friday, November 4, 2022:

 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sheila M. Finnegan: Magistrate Judge

motion hearing held on 11/4/2022 as to Defendants' Motion to Compel Discovery [139].

For reasons stated on the record, the motion is granted in part and denied in part. By

11/18/2022: (1) Plaintiff Piazza is to produce her resume in native format with metadata in

response to RFP 5; (2) the Responsive Opt−In Plaintiffs are to produce emails and texts

responsive to RFP 3 located through the attorney−guided search described on the record;

and (3) Plaintiff Piazza and Responsive Opt−In Plaintiffs are to submit supplemental and

verified discovery responses that omit statements that searches are continuing (all searches

must be completed) and that state whether any responsive materials are being withheld

based on stated objections. As part of their supplemental verified discovery responses, the

Court further orders that Responsive Opt−In Plaintiffs identified in the motion to compel

as having deficient responses are to (a) for interrogatory 1, answer in full and confirm that

they have provided all information within their recollection (but retired Opt−In Ray need

not supplement); (b) for interrogatory 2, provide supplemental information if the Plaintiff

held the Assistant Store Director ("ASD") position for less than 5 years and was not

employed at Jewel in the 3 years before becoming an ASD; (c) for interrogatory 3,

provide best recollections of dates and details for any degrees or certificates (other than

those obtained during employment with Jewel) that were completed within the last 5

years; and (d) for interrogatory 4, confirm that the answer is complete according to best

recollections of any formal as well as informal complaints. Finally, the 9 Non−Responsive

Opt−In Plaintiffs for whom Defendants have received no discovery responses at all are

ordered to provide verified responses to all discovery requests by 11/18/2022. Failure to

do so will result in the Court recommending that the district judge dismiss these

individuals from the case. The parties are to confer about any verified supplemental

discovery responses that are provided pursuant to this order, and file a Joint Status Report

by 12/9/2022 identifying any outstanding issues. Telephone status hearing is set for

12/14/2022 at 4:00 p.m. The toll−free number for the next hearing is 877−336−1831,

access code 5995354. Persons granted remote access to proceedings are reminded of the

prohibition against recording and rebroadcasting of court proceedings. Mailed notice
