5/31/01. (kw) (Entered: 07/06/2001)
10/11/2001 65 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER; I am responding to the 10/2/01 joint
letter from Mr. Bolkin and Mr. Binns, consisting of 42 single-spaced
pages and 49 exhibits. At page 26, Mr. Binns requests oral argument, but
I find that none is needed ; that for the reasons set forth in this Order on
defendants' request to let them examine plaintiff Tyson's income tax
returns, I find that King's arguments are belated, repetitious, and
unjustified ; at page 41-42, Tyson requests me to order King to pay a
sanction of $8,875.00; I have given thought to this request, and I find that
it might well be appropriate under 28 U.S.C. 1927; I am concerned that
King may be trying to delay the completion of discovery beyond the
12/15/01 deadline set by Judge Daniels; I decline to award any sanction
at this time, but Tyson may renew this request after 12/15/01, when I
would be able to view it in a broader context . ( signed by Magistrate
Judge Douglas F. Eaton ); Copies mailed. (kkc) (Entered: 10/12/2001)
10/23/2001 66 ORDER; responding to another joint letter from Mr. Bolkin and Mr.
Binns, dated September 24 but mailed on 10/17/01. At page 7, Mr. Binns
requests oral argument, but I find that none is needed; at page 13 of the
current joint letter, Tyson asks me to issue a protective order. I direct that
the defendants may not seek any discovery Tyson's post 1/31/98 finances
unless they send me a joint letter on or before 11/5/01 and obtain an
advance ruling from me . ( signed by Magistrate Judge Douglas F.
