This endorsement from a case conference addresses delays in the discovery process across several consolidated actions.
The primary issue identified was Mr. Behzad Pilehvar's failure to produce all relevant documents, including approximately 11,000 emails and text messages.
The court ordered Mr. Pilehvar to deliver a further and better affidavit of documents by December 19, 2023.
The endorsement also noted Mr. Pilehvar's counsel's contemplation of bringing a motion to remove himself from the record, which would impact scheduled discoveries and a planned mediation session in early spring 2024.
The court provided directions for scheduling future motions and case conferences.
