JOINT STATUS REPORT REGARDING SEPTEMBER 24 STATUS CONFERENCE
In accordance with this Court’s Order of August 13, 2014 (Doc. 85), the parties hereby
notify the Court that they do not request a status conference on September 24. However, Plaintiffs
are of the view that a status conference may soon be necessary to address Plaintiffs’ concerns
regarding the pace of document discovery. Because of scheduling conflicts affecting counsel
for the Defendant during the week of September 22, however, the parties have agreed to propose
to reschedule the status conference currently scheduled for September 24. The parties have
further discussed rescheduling that status conference for Wednesday, October 1 at 11 a.m. (assuming
that the Court is available at that time). The parties therefore propose that they will inform
by the Court, in a joint status report to be filed no later than 5 p.m. on Friday, September
26, whether they desire to hold a status conference on October 1 (or on any other date during the
week of September 29 that works for the Court). If the parties propose holding a status conference,
they will include in their status report a short description of the proposed agenda items for
that conference, as well as the identity of counsel in this case who plan to participate in the status
conference and the identity of counsel in related cases who plan to listen in to that status conference.

Finally, given Defendant’s unavailability this week for a status conference, Plaintiffs
propose that, unless the Court desires oral argument, the pending application of J. Timothy Howard
for access to protected information (Doc. 93) be decided, at the Court’s earliest convenience,
on the basis of the briefs filed by the parties. Defendant does not oppose this proposal.
Date: September 22, 2014 Respectfully submitted,
