Minute Entry for proceedings held before Magistrate Judge James Orenstein:Status Conference held on 4/20/2017. SCHEDULING: The next status conference will be held on June 8, 2017, at 2:00 p.m. SUMMARY: (1) I will enter the proposed orders regarding the File & Serve system and third party claims filing companies as requested in the parties' joint status reports. (2) The motion by Cardtronics USA, Inc. is not yet ripe for review. I will terminate the motion without prejudice to renewal if the parties are unable to resolve the matter on consent. (3) The motion to stay depositions, docket entry 6734, is moot. (4)For the reasons set forth on the record, I denied the motion by the Direct Action plaintiffs (docket entry 6897) to amend the order appointing interim class counsel. (5) I discussed with the parties the motion by The Home Depot. DE 6921, to compel disclosures responsive to an interrogatory. Based on the discussion, the parties will attempt to work out the dispute without the need for further litigation; I will therefore terminate the motion without prejudice to renewal. (6)I heard the parties' arguments on the pending motions to amend the several plaintiffs' complaints and reserved decision. The parties may submit supplemental letters addressing matters raised at today's argument by April 27, 2017.

Minute Entry for proceedings held before Magistrate Judge James Orenstein:Status Conference held on 1/5/2017. (1) After hearing the arguments of counsel and reviewing all of the written submissions, and upon consideration of the putative Damages Class's revised request for relief (a copy of which I respectfully direct counsel to file on the docket), I ordered EPS, in lieu of any other sanction, to reimburse the putative Damages Class for the reasonable expenses (excluding attorneys' fees, which the putative class has waived) incurred since January 7, 2015, in connection with the litigation of matters relating to EPS. The Damages Class and EPS shall confer in an attempt to agree on the specific amount to be reimbursed; should they disagree as to the amount, the Damages Class will submit its request by January 19, 2017, and EPS will submit its response by January 26, 2017. Should EPS seek review of the foregoing ruling pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72, the foregoing deadlines, as well as the underlying reimbursement order, will be stayed pending resolution of that review. Because I conclude that the reimbursement ordered above obviates the need for any additional sanction, I note that should the court on review determine that reimbursement is not an available remedy, I will reconsider whether some other sanction should be imposed instead. (2) I further respectfully recommend that the court require EPS to resume providing monthly reports to the Damages Class counsel regarding its Merchant Reimbursement Program, and that the parties submit a status report on the continuing need for such monitoring after one year.
