Meizlish & Grayson

On August 2, 2011, Judge Dlott issued an order limiting discovery at Plaintiffs' request. Defendants had served 78 sets of written discovery requiring answers to over 4,000 requests. The Judge limited Defendants to 30 sets of written discovery and 30 depositions. Defendants can request more discovery  later if they can show they can't prove their case with this restriction. 
In her order the Judge also set some deadlines for Phase 1 of the case that involves class and FLSA conditional certification. Fact discovery must be completed by November 30, 2011, and expert discovery by March 30, 2012. Defendants have until May 30, 2012, to file any motion to decertify the FLSA class, attempting to preclude the LAE's and LAET's from litigating their claims as a class. 
 
We appreciate the continuing support of our class members. We may be contacting you in the future for additional information and assistance in advancing our case for overtime.
