ORDER: terminating 55 Letter Motion for Conference re: 55 LETTER MOTION for Conference. addressed to Judge P. Kevin Castel from John R. Cuti dated May 26, 2022. The action was referred to mediation on September 27, 2021. The Court is mindful of the further Mediation Conference scheduled for July 19, 2022 and the challenges of e-discovery in this case. But we are now at a point where the parties must actively proceed with discovery, even if they wish to continue exploring a resolution. The parties shall meet and confer on an e-discovery protocol, including search terms, a date for identifying the number of documents resulting from running those search terms and a date to meet and confer on a schedule for production of documents once the number of search term hits (i.e. the number of potentially responsive and producible documents) is known. The parties may propose a further modification to the September 30, 2022 date for completion of fact discovery and the November 18, 2022 date for completion of expert discovery. The parties shall meet and confer before July 12, 2022 and submit the parties' proposal(s) to the Court by July 25, 2022. Letter motion (Doc 55) should be terminated. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge P. Kevin Castel on 6/28/2022) (ama) (Entered: 06/28/2022)
