| 03/24/2015 | 9 | EMERGENCY MOTION for Status Conference by DENNIS L. MONTGOMERY. (Attachments: # 1 Exhibit 1)(Klayman, Larry) Modified text on 3/25/2015 (yha). (Entered: 03/24/2015) |
| 03/25/2015 | 10 | Clerks Notice to Filer re 9 MOTION for Status Conference . Emergency Document Filed Electronically; ERROR – Emergency matters may not be filed electronically, they must be filed in the conventional paper format in the division where the judge is chambered. The Clerk contacted Chambers and corrected the docket text to indicate the document is an emergency matter. It is not necessary to refile this document but future filings must comply with the CM/ECF Administrative Procedures and Local Rules. (yha) (Entered: 03/25/2015) |
| 03/25/2015 | 11 | PAPERLESS ORDER granting 9 “Emergency” Plaintiff’s Motion for Status Conference. While the Court grants Plaintiff Dennis Montgomery’s “Emergency” motion, it must point out that Plaintiff’s motion is procedurally defective for failure to comply with the local rules of this district. Local Rule 7.1(e), which governs emergency motions, requires a party filing an emergency motion to also submit the form entitled “Certification of Emergency,” available on the court’s website, therewith. Plaintiff’s counsel did not use the required form herein. The motion, therefore, violates the Local Rule on emergency motions. Additionally, the Local Rules require conventional filing of emergency motions. Plaintiff’s counsel violated that requirement as well. Notwithstanding, given the information submitted in Plaintiff’s motion, the Court will schedule a status conference via separate notice. Signed by Judge Jose E. Martinez on 3/25/2015.

| 06/30/2015 | 80 | ORDER re 79 Notice of Hearing by Attorney filed by HOUGHTON MIFFLIN HARCOURT PUBLISHING COMPANY, JAMES RISEN, HMH HOLDINGS, INC.Defendants have noticed a discovery hearing for July 10, 2015, and they described the dispute as whether a proposed protective order should be entered. The certificate of conferral reveals that Plaintiff does not agree.This is an atypical discovery hearing concerning protective orders similar to the proposed one which Defendants attached to their notice. Usually, the parties stipulate to the entry of a protective order concerning confidentiality of information and documents obtained in discovery. In some instances, the parties agree in general on the concept of a protective order but might disagreee as to one or two (of many) provisions. But this dispute appears to be one where some parties (i.e., the Defendants) want a protective order but the other side (i.e., the Plaintiff) does not. This is unusual, and it may well be the first time in five years that the Undersigned has been confronted with this scenario (assuming that Plaintiff opposes any type of protective order).Given the nature of the underlying lawsuit and the media status of the Defendants, the Court would like to review memoranda of law before the hearing. Therefore, Plaintiff and Defendants shall each (by July 8, 2015) file a memorandum of law, not to exceed five double-spaced pages (excluding signature block and certificate of service), on the relevant legal issues underlying each side’s position. The Undersigned will not consider any case law or other authority not mentioned in the pre-hearing memoranda.The Undersigned anticipates that the memoranda will help avoid any undue delay in issuing a ruling.

| 07/09/2015 | 86 | ENDORSED ORDER granting the Joint 85 Motion for Leave to Appear Telephonically, but doing so reluctantly, because of the Court’s experience with other telephone hearings in this case. The attorneys participating by phone shall remember to make sure not to interrupt anyone before speaking and to pause for a second or two before speaking, in order to make sure that his or her comments are not interrupting the current speaker. If the telephone hearing turns out to be one filled with interruptions, then the Undersigned will not permit any further telephone hearings in this case absent compelling circumstances bordering on a genuine emergency. Counsel’s status as an out-of-town attorney or as someone currently on travel will not be deemed to be compelling.Furthermore, counsel are encouraged to not wait until the afternoon before the hearing to file this type of motion. The hearing was scheduled on June 30, 2015, and counsel surely knew their own schedules before this afternoon.Nonetheless, the parties shall abide the following call-in procedure: Counsel shall contact the Court shortly before the Hearing by: 1. Dialing 1-888-684-8852; 2. Entering Access Code Number 8004594, followed by the # sign; and 3. Entering Security Code Number 1213 followed by the # sign. No cellular telephone use is permitted.

| 07/20/2015 | 91 | ENDORSED ORDER re 90 Notice of Hearing by Attorney, filed by HOUGHTON MIFFLIN HARCOURT PUBLISHING COMPANY, JAMES RISEN, HMH HOLDINGS, INC.In their notice of hearing, Defendants suggest that the Court would benefit from reviewing pre-hearing memoranda not to exceed five pages on the “principal points of contention and uncommon legal issues.” Although the Undersigned will grant this request and require pre-hearing memoranda, the Defendants’ request does not sufficiently pinpoint the legal issues, especially the generic “uncommon legal issues” which they anticipate will be discussed in the memoranda.Therefore, Defendants shall by July 22, 2014, file a notice specifically listing the precise legal issues which they believe should be addressed in the memoranda. If Plaintiff has any additional issues which he believes would be helpful to the Court at the August 7, 2015 discovery hearing, then he may file his own list of supplemental issues by July 24, 2014. The parties shall file their respective memoranda on the listed issues by August 4, 2015.A final point:Obviously, a five-page memorandum will not be sufficient to adequately address more than a few specifically designated issues. Because the Undersigned is not sufficiently familiar with the nuances of the present discovery dispute, I am reluctant to provide a cap on the number of issues. However, the Undersigned expects the parties to be reasonable and responsible and not list too many issues for a 5-page memorandum. If the list (or lists, assuming that Plaintiff also files one) contains too many issues, then the Court will not review either memo. Signed by Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman on 7/20/2015.

Counsel for both Plaintiff and Defendants have at times interrupted each other and the Undersigned during hearings. The negative consequences arising from mid-hearing interruptions are magnified during a telephone hearing because of the brief built-in audio delay. The likelihood of interruptions is increased when counsel are participating by telephone. Therefore, counsel are encouraged to speak slowly and to wait before speaking, to make sure that opposing counsel and/or the Court have finished speaking. If counsel are unable to do this, whether by design or an inability to control themselves, then counsel will lose the privilege of attending a hearing in this case by telephone, the hearing will be adjourned and will be rescheduled as an in-person hearing and all future hearings before the Undersigned in this case will be in-person hearings.
