The Court finds the parties could have avoided the expenses of this Motion by conferring appropriately early in the case about ESI.
United States Magistrate Judge Michael R. Merz, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v. LaSalle Bank Nat’l Ass’n, 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 70514 (S.D. Ohio July 24, 2009).

Please join Connie Merriett, Esq., Dechert, LLC and Peter Coons., D4 LLC for a discussion on meet & confer best practices on May 19, 2010 at 12:00 am PST/3:00 pm EST.
