Re: Eames v. Nationwide
C.A. No. 04-1324 KA]
Gentlemen:
I have not solicited, and will not entertain, any comments other than what we l
discussed last week on the phone. To that end, I received Mr. Spadero's letter and
enclosures of October 14, 2005. I will gladly review the initial Rule 26 disclosures and
ask that Mr. Spadero forward them to me at once.
Meet and confer is hardly a confounding term. It means you will meet in person
or by phone in a good faith attempt to reach agreements on disputed legal and factual
issues, will behave civilly, identify, address, and work through the legal or factual issues,
and then report to me what issues have been resolved, and what issues remain for
decision. No further comment is appropriate. If either side requests my intervention, file
I a motion and brief schedule, or call jointly to schedule a conference. Presumably you can
meet and confer and agree on such a schedule.
My notes of last week's teleconference indicate that, having reaffirmed that my
appointment is without objection, the following schedule will be observed:
