Status Conference
MINUTE ENTRY: The Court held a telephonic status conference pursuant to DE 19 concerning the parties' discovery dispute regarding Defendant's net worth and financial information in connection with Plaintiff's claim for punitive damages. The Court directed counsel to redouble their efforts in good faith to reach a compromise concerning the discovery discussed during the conference. The Court further discussed with counsel the procedure for addressing any remaining dispute. If Defendant challenges Plaintiff's punitive damages claim by dispositive motion, discovery concerning Defendant's net worth or ability to pay will be deferred pending resolution of that motion. If the punitive damages claim survives dispositive motion practice, Plaintiff may seek limited financial discovery relevant to Defendant's net worth or ability to pay. If Defendant does not challenge the punitive damages claim by dispositive motion, Plaintiff may, after the close of discovery, make a prima facie showing in support of punitive damages for the Court's consideration in determining whether limited net-worth discovery should be permitted. The parties agreed to this procedure. Nothing in this Minute Entry constitutes a determination that Plaintiff has or has not made the requisite prima facie showing in support of punitive damages, and neither party waives its right to seek or oppose limited financial discovery at the appropriate time. Proceedings held before Honorable Joseph Dawson, III. (lgib, )
