The Court notes that the parties failed to submit a joint stipulation pursuant LRCi
37.2(a).  Since the matter is fully briefed, in the interest of judicial economy, the Court will
rule upon the papers which could be considered filed consistent with LRCi 37.2(b).
However, all future discovery motions that fail to comply with the requirements of LRCi
37.2(a) will not be considered pursuant to LRCi 37.2(c).
Having reviewed the submissions of the parties, the Court makes the following
findings and conclusions.
Interrogatory No. 1:  The name of any attorney consulted and the date of the initial
consultation do not constitute privileged information.  Plaintiff’s objection is overruled.
Request For Production No. 1.a.:  This request is not overly broad, vague or burdensome.
It is restricted in time and scope.  Moreover, in the absence of a privilege log, the Court
finds that Plaintiff has waived any applicable privilege(s).  Plaintiff’s objection is overruled.
Request For Production No. 1.b.iii.:  The request is not overly broad nor irrelevant.
Moreover, in the absence of a privilege log, the Court may find that Plaintiff has waived
any applicable privilege.  Plaintiff’s objection is overruled.
Request For Production No. 1.b.iv.:  This request is not overly broad, vague or burdensome.
It is very specific and narrow in scope.  Moreover, in the absence of a privilege log, the
