PROCEDURES FOR DISCOVERY DISPUTES FOR MAGISTRATE JUDGE O. EDWARD SCHLATTER When discovery disputes arise, I prefer to address and resolve them over the telephone, if possible. I find that short telephone hearings are more efficient and more economical for everyone, including me. It is not only unnecessary to submit to a written motion, I prefer that no written motions be submitted. I will listen to the comments of both sides, and I will provide an immediate ruling. Attorneys who find themselves unable to resolve a problem without assistance should telephone my office and obtain a date and time for a telephone conference at (303) 844-4507. Speak to Shawn, my secretary. She can usually provide a telephone hearing very near in time to your call ­ sometimes on the spot. If problems arise during depositions, I suggest that attorneys at least try and reach me by telephone while the deposition is in process. I understand that it is important to resolve an objection or issue on the spot, rather than terminate the deposition, only to recommence on a later day. If I can shake free to address the problem, I will do so. Use of the telephone is an optional procedure, not a mandatory one. I recognize that some cases, or some disputes, do not lend themselves to resolution by means of a telephone conference. Lengthy or detailed written motions, such as motions to compel directed to a number of items, will generally be scheduled for a hearing in my courtroom.
