JOINT MOTION by plaintiff Equal Employment, defendant Celanese Acetate, plaintiff Anthony T Dixon to extend time for obtaining specific discovery (bwil) (Entered: 08/21/2001)

TELEPHONE CONFERENCE/Minute entry: Lisa Alexander, Judge Marchant's Law Clerk, held a telephone conference with Edwin Turnage (counsel for EEOC), Geraldine Sumter (counsel for Plaintiff), and Heather Polzin (counsel for Defendant). Defendant had previously submitted in camera the names of two tests that it seeks to have the Plaintiff perform. Defendant has requested that Plaintiff not be informed of the nature of the tests prior to testing. Judge Marchant instructed Defendant's expert to submit an affidavit describing what the tests are, what the tests are designed to do, the nature of the tests, whether the tests are generally accepted in the field by psychiatrists, whether the tests are used widespread, information concerning the validity of the tests, and how the tests are accepted and recognized in the field. The Court offered to have the Defendant disclose the names of the tests to counsel for the Plaintiff and EEOC provided that the names of the tests were not disclosed to the Plaintiff without further order of the Court. If counsel agreed, then Plaintiff's counsel and the EEOC's counsel could submit an affidavit from their expert on the same issues outlined above. Counsel for the EEOC and Plaintiff will notify the Court by August 21 as to whether they wish to be informed of the names of the tests and whether they intend to submit an affidavit. Affidavits from all parties on this matter should be filed on or before August 27, 2001.
