TEXT ORDER denying 25 consent motion to amend/correct Scheduling Order. As an initial matter, because the parties seek to extend only one deadline in the Amended Scheduling Order, the parties may file a motion for extension of time as to that deadline and a new Scheduling Order is not required. See Local Civil Rule 6.01, D.S.C. Additionally, the Court is not inclined to set a deadline that is tied to when Plaintiff receives discovery responses from Defendant. However, the parties may file a motion to extend the deadline for parties to move to join other parties and amend the pleadings and provide a date certain for the proposed extended deadline.

Order on Motion to Amend/Correct

TEXT ORDER directing the parties (a) to comply with the following directions from the Court, (b) to meet and confer about outstanding discovery issues, and (c) to file a status report by March 6, 2023, outlining any unresolved issues. As a result of the status conference held on February 17, 2023: (1) Plaintiffs shall create a list of Bates # documents that were identified in discovery responses but have not been received by Plaintiffs; (2) Defendant shall then re-produce those Bates # documents; (3) Defendant shall produce the annual operating budgets responsive to RFP set 1 number 23; (4) Defendant shall be more specific in discovery responses and identify specific pages of manuals that are responsive to individual discovery requests; (5) Plaintiffs' IT consultant and Defendant's IT department and/or representative shall meet to determine the scope of documents available electronically that are responsive to discovery requests; (6) Defendant shall determine the best way to review paper documents and whether it needs Plaintiffs to assist in the process of reviewing paper documents; and (7) Defendant shall pay, by March 14, 2023, the attorneys' fees awarded on January 18, 2023 Doc. 43 . To the extent Defendant asserts that it should not pay the attorneys' fees award because of a potential appeal, the Court is unaware of any controlling federal case law supporting Defendant's position, see Bolus v. Fleetwood RV, Inc., 646 F. App'x 316 (4th Cir. 2016) (holding that the plaintiff's failure to comply with a pre-trial order to pay defendants' attorney fees warranted a sanction of dismissal), nor has Defendant sought reconsideration of the Court's attorney's fees award or raised objections about the award to the district judge in this case.

CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE by A.C., Disability Rights South Carolina, H.M., J.H. re 67 MOTION for Order to Show Cause Why Correct Care Solutions, LLC Should Not be Held in Contempt (Cox, Sarah Jean) (Entered: 06/29/2023)

TEXT ORDER denying with leave to refile 67 Plaintiffs' motion for rule to show cause as to Correct Care Solutions, LLC. Plaintiffs allege that they properly served a subpoena on Correct Care's registered agent on April 28, 2023, and that Correct Care has neither filed objections to the subpoena nor responded to the same by the deadline May 12, 2023. [Doc. 67 at 1-2.] The Court construes Plaintiffs' motion as one to compel compliance with the subpoena. See, e.g., Trs. of the Chicago Reg. Council of Carpenters Fund v. Drive Constr., No. 1:19-cv-2965, 2023 WL 429047, at *6 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 26, 2023) ([E]ven in cases where a party failed to submit written objections to a subpoena... courts have found that the more prudent practice for the court is to issue [an order compelling compliance] before entertaining a motion for contempt.). Plaintiffs, however, have failed to include any indication in their motion that they attempted to confer or conferred with Correct Care to secure the information or material without Court intervention prior to filing this motion. See, e.g., Boukadoum v. Hubanks, 239 F.R.D. 427, 431 (D. Md. 2006) ([W]here counsel subpoenas documents from a non- party, especially a health care provider, and the documents are not forthcoming on the appointed date, counsel must engage in a good faith effort to secure the non-party's compliance before filing a motion to compel and must certify to the effort made as part of the motion to compel.) Furthermore, it is unclear whether the current motion to compel is timely in accordance with Local Rule 37.01 or whether Correct Care actually received notice of the subpoena as no proof of communication with Correct Care supporting an extension of the deadline is attached, and no documents concerning service of the subpoena are attached to the motion. See Chromadex, Inc. v. Elysium Health, Inc., No. 2:21-mc-00010-DCN, 2021 WL 859649, at **2--3 (D.S.C. Mar. 8, 2021) (applying Local Rule 37.01 to a motion to compel compliance with a subpoena to produce documents).

TEXT ORDER During a telephone conference held on October 11, 2023, the Court directed the parties to meet and confer concerning whether Plaintiffs' experts would have the authority to interview Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center staff during inspections conducted pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 34(b) and directing Plaintiffs, if the parties could not agree, to file any motion requesting such authority by October 18, 2023. The Court now has been informed that the parties have, to this point, not been able to agree and that Plaintiffs would like an opportunity to conduct the discovery necessary to appropriately narrow the scope of the motion. While Defendants oppose the substance of Plaintiffs' request for interviews, they do not oppose Plaintiffs' request to extend the deadline for this motion. Understanding Plaintiffs' reasoning, the Court grants Plaintiffs until December 18, 2023, to file any motion requesting the authority at issue.
