FRANCIS AUSTIN, Plaintiff, v. FORDHAM UNIVERSITY, Defendant, and FORDHAM UNIVERSITY, Third-Party Plaintiff, v. PATRICK SWEENEY, Third-Party Defendant.
ORDER
GARY STEIN, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The Court is in receipt of the parties' respective letters regarding an ongoing discovery dispute concerning Plaintiff's medical records. (See Dkt. Nos. 33-35). The undersigned GRANTS the parties' request for a conference on this issue. The parties are accordingly directed to appear in Courtroom 9A of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, 500 Pearl Street, NY 10007 on Thursday, February 8, at 10:00 AM.
In his letter, the third-party Defendant raises an additional discovery issue concerning Plaintiff's responses to interrogatories. (Dkt. No. 34 at 3). The letter does not, however, indicate that the parties have met and conferred with regard to this issue, as required. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 37(a)(1); Individual Practice Rules of Judge Paul A. Crotty, U.S.D.J., Rule #3.C. The relevant parties are directed to meet and confer about this issue prior to the February 8 conference. If the issue still is not resolved, the parties shall submit a joint letter (of no longer than five pages) by Tuesday, February 6, 2024, setting forth their respective positions.
SO ORDERED.
