06/27/2017 N/A JE THE COURT HAS REVIEWED THE RATHER EXTENSIVE BRIEFING AND ATTACHMENTS TO THE PARTIES' MOTION TO COMPEL DISCOVERY. IT SEEMS FROM THE DETAILED EXPLANATION THAT THE PLAINTIFF ALREADY HAS A GREAT DEAL OF INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH DISCOVERY AND HAS TAKEN A VERY FIRM POSITION ON THE MERITS OF HIS CASE. DUE TO SOME OF THE TERMINOLOGY USED BY THE PARTIES AND WITHOUT HAVING FAMILIARITY WITH THE "IN HOUSE" MANNER OF KEEPING INFORMATION BY THE DEFENDANT, THE COURT IS LIMITED IN BEING ABLE TO SPECIFICALLY ORDER CERTAIN DISCOVERY. THE FOLLOWING ORDERS ARE INTENDED TO REQUIRE CERTAIN INFORMATION, IF NOT ALREADY PROVIDED, TO BE TURNED OVER TO THE PLAINTIFF IN TERMS WHICH ARE UNFORTUNATELY MORE GENERAL THAN WILL MEET THE PARTIES' MORE INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF THIS CASE BUT WHICH WILL HOPEFULLY ALLOW THE DISCOVERY TO BE COMPLETED. ALL OF THIS DISCOVERY IS LIMITED UP TO THE DATE OF DR. KATZ DISMISSAL FROM DEFENDANT. 1. COMPARATORS: DEFENDANT IS TO PROVIDE COMPARATIVE INFORMATION CONCERNING DOCTORS IN THE HEAD AND NECK INSTITUTE ONLY, AND AS BEST AS CAN BE DONE, THAT INFORMATION IS TO ALLOW A DIRECT COMPARISON WITH THE POSITION OF DR. KATZ OR TO PROVIDE THE DETAIL TO SHOW THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE POSITIONS. 2. BALANCED SCORECARDS: FROM THE BRIEFING, IT APPEARS THAT THESE HAVE BEEN PROVIDED, BUT IF NOT, AGAIN THOSE SCORECARDS FOR THE DOCTORS IN THE HEAD AND NECK INSTITUTE ARE TO BE PROVIDED. 3. DEFENDANT IS NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE THE "SIX MONTH LETTERS." 4. THE METADATA FOR THE "TICHY" LETTER OF DECEMBER 31, 2014, IS TO BE PROVIDED. IT IS IRRELEVANT THAT AN IN-HOUSE ATTORNEY DRAFTED THE LETTER. IT WAS SENT OUT BY TICHY AND THERE IS NO ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE. FURTHER, FROM THE PLAINTIFF'S BRIEF, THE ONLY ISSUE IS THE DATE OF PREPARATION OF THE LETTER. 5. GENERAL POLICIES: POLICY INFORMATION AS REQUESTED IS LIMITED TO POLICIES OF THE HEAD AND NECK INSTITUTE AND ANY OVERLAPPING GENERAL POLICIES OF THE DEFENDANT AS WOULD BE APPLICABLE TO DR. KATZ AND THE HEAD AND NECK INSTITUTE. DEFENDANT IS NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE EVERY POLICY AND PROCEDURE IN GENERAL. 6. HIPPA DOCUMENTS: DEFENDANT IS NOT REQUIRED, AND IS NOT PERMITTED WITHOUT EXPRESS AUTHORIZATION FROM THE PATIENT, TO RELEASE DOCUMENTS THAT WOULD VIOLATE HIPPA. IF THERE ARE ANY SUCH RECORDS WHERE THE COURT MAY HOLD AN IN CAMERA INSPECTION, THOSE RECORDS SHOULD BE PROVIDED TO THE COURT UNDER SEAL. THE COURT FINDS THAT THESE WERE LEGITIMATE POINTS OF CONTENTION BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND THAT THE PARTIES HAVE EARNESTLY COMPLIED WITH THE LOCAL RULES PRIOR TO PRESENTING THESE ISSUES TO THE COURT.
