PETER KUHN, Plaintiff, v. THREE BELL CAPITAL, et al., Defendants.
ORDER RE JUNE 4, 2024 DISCOVERY DISPUTE
RE: DKT. NO. 56
VIRGINIA K. DEMARCHI, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The Court held oral argument on the parties' June 4, 2024 discovery dispute, which was directed to several unrelated disagreements regarding plaintiff Peter Kuhn's discovery requests to defendants Three Bell Capital and Jonathan Porter. Dkt. Nos. 56, 61. For the reasons explained during the hearing, the Court as follows:
1. Defendants need not answer plaintiff's Interrogatory No. 1. By July 9, 2024, defendants shall serve written responses to plaintiff's Interrogatories Nos. 2-8 that do not rely on an objection that plaintiff's interrogatories exceed Rule 33(a)'s 25-interrogatory limit. This order does not address any other objections that defendants may have to Interrogatories Nos. 2-8.
2. The Court denies without prejudice plaintiff's request for relief with respect to the disputed document requests. The parties' presentation of this dispute does not comply with the discovery dispute resolution procedures in the Court's Standing Order for Civil Cases. The parties are directed to confer further, and if a dispute remains, they may submit a joint discovery dispute letter that complies with that Standing Order.
