| 12/10/2013 | 92 | Judge Michael A. Ponsor: ENDORSED ORDER entered denying 89 Motion to Stay Proceedings Pending Adjudication of Petition for Writ of Mandamus, and Request for Expedited Consideration. DENIED. Disagreement with a court’s ruling, however sincere, is not a plausible basis for a mandamus petition. Moreover, the harm alleged is no greater than the usual burden on a party to a complex lawsuit. So ordered. (Lindsay, Maurice) (Entered: 12/10/2013) |
| 12/11/2013 | 93 | Magistrate Judge Kenneth P. Neiman: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered denying without prejudice 85 Plaintiff’s Motion for Protective Order. First, the court is not inclined to adopt the attorney’s eyes only provision (as set forth in Paragraphs 7 through 11 of the proposed order) for many of the reasons raised by Defendant in his opposition; given that Defendant, as the sole defendant in this action and as uniquely positioned to assist in his defense with regard to the events at issue, his counsel will no doubt need to communicate with him without the strictures proposed by Plaintiff. Second, among other matters, the court is also concerned with the proposed order to the extent it could be interpreted as shackling Defendant’s investigation of facts and witnesses in Uganda. Third, the court agrees with Defendant that the obligation to seek relief from the court, addressed in paragraph 12 of the proposed order, should be borne by the designating not the objecting party. Fourth, the court is also concerned that Defendant’s Declaration in Opposition to Plaintiff’s motion, particularly when viewed in the context of his statement that he intends to continue “to lawfully speak and to engage in public and political advocacy on civil and political matters of public importance,” may betray an insufficient understanding of how he could run afoul of his avowed compliance with even a more carefully crafted protective order. That said, the court ORDERS the parties to take steps to resolve their differences and, if unable to do so, to provide a joint document to the court by January 7, 2014, which sets forth the provisions of a proposed protective order with which they agree as well as the provisions with which they do not agree and their countervailing proposals for those provisions. Of course, if the parties come to an agreement with regard to a protective order, they shall file that proposed order with the court by January 7, 2014. So ordered.

| 03/03/2014 | 105 | Magistrate Judge Kenneth P. Neiman: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered endorsing 103 Order Regarding Confidentiality of Certain Discovery Material, subject to one minor correction in Paragraph 5 thereof. In issuing the Order, the court acknowledges 104 Defendant’s Objection, which echoes arguments previously made by him, most of which were considered by the court in its February 14, 2014 Memorandum and Order (Document No. 102). To be sure, Defendant still maintains that the protective order would be grounded, at least in part, on “unsubstantiated allegations.” What Defendant fails to recognize, however, is that Judge Ponsor previously found that “Plaintiff has set out plausibly that Defendant worked with associates within Uganda to coordinate, implement, and legitimate ‘strategies to dehumanize, demonize, silence, and further criminalize the {Ugandan} LGBTI community.'” (August 14, 2013 Memorandum and Order Regarding Defendant’s Motions to Dismiss (Document No. 59), at 34-35 (quoting Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint (Document No. 27) at par. 27).) While, as this court indicated in its February 14, 2014 Memorandum and Order, these allegations still need to be proven at trial, they are of significant enough concern, on balance, to make certain protections necessary even at the discovery stage. Order to issue. (Neiman, Kenneth) (Entered: 03/03/2014) |

| 07/31/2015 | 202 | Magistrate Judge Katherine A. Robertson: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered denying 161 Motion to Compel. In one of a series of discovery motions filed by the parties, before the court is a motion by plaintiff, Sexual Minorities of Uganda (“Plaintiff”), to compel the defendant, Scott Lively (“Defendant”), to produce documents responsive to Plaintiff’s document requests 4, 22, 23, 24 and 25, and to supplement his answers to plaintiff’s interrogatories 16, 19, 20 and 21 (Dkt. No. 162 ). Plaintiff contends that Defendant has improperly narrowed the scope of its discovery requests by refusing to provide documents or information regarding his allegedly persecutory efforts against LGBTI individuals in countries other than Uganda. Defendant argues that requests for information about his activities in countries other than Uganda seek information that is not relevant to Plaintiff’s claims of persecution of LGBTI individuals in Uganda.The scope of discovery is governed by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(1), which provides that “[p]arties may obtain discovery regarding any nonprivileged matter that is relevant to any partys claim or defense… For good cause, the court may order discovery of any matter relevant to the subject matter involved in the action.” Discovery is subject to limitations set forth in the rule, “such as proportionality and duplication.” TG Plastics Trading Co. v. Toray Plastics, No. C.A. 09-336S, 2010 WL 936221, at *1 (D.R.I. Mar. 12, 2010). “‘The party seeking information in discovery over an adversary’s objection has the burden of showing its relevance.'” Id. at *2 (quoting Caouette v. Officemax, Inc., 352 F. Supp. 2d 134, 136 (D.N.H. 2005)).In the court’s view, Plaintiff has failed to meet that burden. Information about Defendant’s activities in countries other than the United States and Uganda is not directly relevant to Plaintiff’s claims and any relevance it may have in this case is, at best, attenuated. For purposes of establishing Defendant’s liability, Plaintiff will be required to show that Defendant’s alleged “offensive conduct… occurred in substantial part, within this country.” Sexual Minorities of Uganda v. Lively, 960 F. Supp. 2d 304, 310 (D. Mass. 2013). Thus, Plaintiff plainly is entitled to discovery of information regarding Defendant’s activities in the United States that have a connection to the claimed injuries of its members in Uganda and, more broadly, to the LGBTI community in Uganda. As to activities in countries other than the United States, Plaintiff’s claims are that Defendant, individually and in a joint enterprise or conspiracy with others, has committed the crime against humanity of persecution of LGBTI individuals in Uganda; that he participated in a civil conspiracy with four Ugandan nationals for an unlawful purpose; and that, through his acts and omissions, he negligently created a virulently hostile environment for Plaintiff and the LGBTI community in Uganda (Dkt. No. 27 at 55-59). According to the amended complaint, Defendant’s goals and purposes and his recommended tactics were communicated at conferences in Uganda that he attended and at which he spoke and in books he has authored (id. at, e.g.,16-18, 22-23). Activities by Defendant in countries other than the United States and Uganda perhaps have some relevance to the subject matter of this action. Where, however, Plaintiff already has substantial evidence of Defendant’s intentions regarding LGBTI individuals, and Defendant has produced thousands of pages of documents, Plaintiff has not shown good cause to overcome the limits on discovery imposed by the concepts of proportionality and duplication. (Calderon, Melissa) (Entered: 07/31/2015) |
| 07/31/2015 | 203 | Magistrate Judge Katherine A. Robertson: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered denying 166 Motion for Protective Order. Before the court is the motion of plaintiff Sexual Minorities of Uganda (“Plaintiff”) for a protective order ordering that the deposition of Sam Ganafa, a member, and possibly chair, of its board of directors, be taken by video-conference and that the deposition be limited to questions about certain specific events alleged in the amended complaint about which Mr. Ganafa has personal knowledge (Dkt. No. 166 ). In support of its motion, Plaintiff states that it does not intend to rely on Mr. Ganafa’s testimony at trial; that he has limited first-hand knowledge of the facts recited in the amended complaint; and that it would be unduly burdensome for him to travel to the United States to sit for a deposition in person. In opposition to the motion, defendant Scott Lively (“Defendant”) argues against limitations set in advance on the questions he can ask of Mr. Ganafa because, as a prominent civil rights activist in Uganda, Mr. Ganafa has extensive knowledge of facts relevant to this litigation. Defendant has set forth in some detail difficulties he claims would be presented by a deposition by video-conference. For the following reasons, the court DENIES Plaintiff’s motion (Dkt. No. 197 ).In requesting limits on the subjects on which Defendant can question Mr. Ganafa, Plaintiff is, in essence, seeking in advance to place most questions to him off limits on the basis that Plaintiff does not intend to call him as a witness and therefore sees his testimony as irrelevant. Prohibiting the taking of deposition testimony is highly unusual. See Prozina Shipping Co., Ltd. v. Thirty-Four Automobiles, 179 F.R.D. 41, 48 (D. Mass. 1998). This is not a case in which a party seeks to depose a high level executive who lacks any knowledge relevant to the claims asserted by that party. See generally WebSideStory, Inc. v. NetRatings, Inc., Civil No. 06cv408 WQH(AJB), 2007 WL 1120567 (S.D. Ca. April 6, 2007). To the contrary, it appears that Mr. Ganafa has personal experience of persecution and repression in Uganda of the very kind of which Plaintiff complains. While Plaintiff may not intend to call Mr. Ganafa as a witness, Plaintiff is not authorized to decide “what may or may not be relevant for Defendants purposes.” Atchison Casting Corp. v. Marsh, Inc., 216 F.R.D. 225, 227 (D. Mass. 2003). Plaintiff’s motion for a protective order is denied insomuch as it seeks to place limits in advance on the questions that can be asked of Mr. Ganafa.As to the location of the deposition, Plaintiff having chosen to bring suit in Massachusetts, it “cannot now argue that it would be too burdensome for it to appear for discovery here.” Prozina Shipping Co., Ltd., 179 F.R.D. at 48; see also Aerocrine AB v. Apieron, Inc., 267 F.R.D. 105, 108 (D. Del. 2010) (general rule is that plaintiff must produce witnesses in district in which plaintiff instituted action); MPD Accessories B.V. v. Target Corp., No. 12-7259, 2013 WL 1200359, *1 (S.D.N.Y Mar. 1, 2013) (same). Defendant has set out in detail barriers that he claims exist to taking Mr. Ganafa’s deposition by video-conference, including an inability to comply with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 28(b), which governs the taking of deposition testimony in a foreign country, and a time difference that would inconvenience counsel and the witness and make it impracticable for the court to resolve disputes that might arise in the course of the deposition. Plaintiff has not rebutted these contentions. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 29 (“Rule 29”), the parties would be free to stipulate to a deposition by video-conference of Mr. Ganafa that could be used for purposes of trial, but Defendant has refused to do so. In these circumstances, the court is unable to conclude that a deposition of Mr. Ganafa by video-conference is a viable alternative to his appearance in Massachusetts (or New York, where, it appears, most depositions in this case have been taken). The parties remain free to stipulate, pursuant to Rule 29, to mutually satisfactory arrangements for Mr. Ganafa’s deposition either in this country or in Uganda.For the foregoing reasons, Plaintiff’s motion for a protective order limiting the deposition of Sam Ganafa is DENIED. It is so ordered. (Calderon, Melissa) (Entered: 07/31/2015) |

Defendant shall make its expert disclosures by no later than December 2, 2015. Expert depositions shall be completed by January 6, 2016. The defendant shall file his motion for summary judgment by no later than February 8, 2016; plaintiff shall file its opposition thereto, and any cross-motion for summary judgment by no later than March 7, 2016.

| 09/23/2015 | 227 | Magistrate Judge Katherine A. Robertson: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered granting in part and denying part Defendant’s 218 Motion for Leave to Take the Ganafa, Onziema and SMUG Depositions during the week of October 26, 2016, while leaving the litigation schedule otherwise intact; Renewed Motion to Compel SMUG to Produce Documents it has been ordered but failed to produce AND Request for Expedited Consideration. In another of a series of discovery motions filed by the parties, before the court is a motion by defendant Scott Lively (“Defendant”) to extend to the week of October 26, 2015 the time for Defendant to take the depositions of Messrs. Ganafa and Onziema, the latter individually and as the Rule 30(b)(6) deponent for plaintiff Sexual Minorities of Uganda (“Plaintiff”). The motion is GRANTED for the following reasons. In or around late July and early August 2015, the undersigned issued a series of rulings on discovery motions by both parties (Dkt. Nos. 202 , 203 , 204 ) and extended certain deadlines in the existing scheduling order. One or more of those rulings required Plaintiff to produce in unredacted form a significant number of pages of the documents that it had previously produced in redacted form. The court also declined to amend the existing protective order to permit the production by Plaintiff of additional documents subject to an “attorneys eyes only” (“AEO”) designation. Plaintiff timely objected to that aspect of the court’s rulings (as it was entitled to do). Because the dispute about AEO designation remains unresolved, Plaintiff has not produced the documents that, in its view, warrant an AEO designation. Defendant argues that, because Plaintiff produced more than 4,800 pages of unredacted material this week and has not produced the documents which it seeks to produce subject to an AEO designation, he lacks adequate time to review documents in advance of taking the depositions of Messrs. Ganafa and Onziema and the Rule 30(b)(6) deposition of Plaintiff under the existing scheduling order, which sets an October 2, 2015 deadline for the completion of fact depositions.The court does not accept as accurate the aspersions cast on Plaintiff’s counsel by defense counsel. Nonetheless although these are points Plaintiff appears unwilling to acknowledge Defendant is entitled to take depositions based on as complete as possible a record and the delay in Plaintiff’s document production has interfered with this reasonable expectation. To the extent Plaintiff unilaterally made travel arrangements for its deponents knowing that the timing of their depositions was a subject of dispute, that is not a good reason to accept Plaintiff’s alternative scheduling proposal, which would not, for the reasons stated by Defendant, allow adequate time to prepare. Accordingly, Defendant will have to the week of October 26, 2015 to take the depositions of Messrs. Ganafa and Onziema, the latter individually and as the Rule 30(b)(6) deponent for Plaintiff.No other changes to the scheduling order are warranted. Messrs. Ganafa and Onziema are associated with Plaintiff and therefore available for consultation with Plaintiff’s expert(s) for purposes of the preparation of Plaintiff’s expert disclosure(s), which must be made by November 2, 2015 in compliance with the existing scheduling order. Defendant’s request for sanctions pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37 in the form of fees and costs is DENIED. (Calderon, Melissa) (Entered: 09/23/2015) |
| 09/23/2015 | 228 | Judge Michael A. Ponsor: ORDER entered. MEMORANDUM AND ORDER Regarding Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Rulings on Non-Dispositive Motions. See the attached memo and order for details. (Lindsay, Maurice) (Entered: 09/23/2015) |
| 09/23/2015 | 229 | Magistrate Judge Katherine A. Robertson: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered granting Plaintiff’s 211 Motion to Retain Confidential Designations. Before the court is a motion by plaintiff, Sexual Minorities of Uganda (“Plaintiff”), to retain confidential designations it has placed on information about its finances to which Frank Muguisha testified during his recent deposition (Dkt. No. 211 ). The defendant, Scott Lively (“Defendant”), opposes the motion, asserting that he has the right to rely on this financial information to respond publicly to the allegations against him (Dkt. No. 221 at 4). The positions of the parties here are strikingly similar to the positions of the parties who were before the court in Seattle Times Co. v. Rhinehart, 467 U.S. 20 (1984). That case, in which the Court affirmed the terms of a protective order that prohibited the disclosure by the defendants of financial information produced by a non-profit entity in discovery, is controlling. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion is GRANTED. In Seattle Times Co., the plaintiffs (respondents on appeal), the spiritual leader and other members of a religious group suing the defendants for defamation, were required to produce information about the group’s finances, including its donors’ identities, in discovery. In connection with the production of this financial information, the plaintiffs sought and ultimately obtained a protective order prohibiting the defendants from “publishing, disseminating, or using the [financial] information in any way except where necessary to prepare for and try the case.” Id. at 27. Plaintiffs sought the protective order because the defendants had stated their intention to use the information gained through discovery in future articles about the plaintiffs. See id. at 26. The Supreme Court rejected the defendants’ claim that the protective order was a violation of their First Amendment rights. See id. at 31-34. The Court observed that there is an opportunity in discovery “for litigants to obtain incidentally or purposefully information that… if publicly released could be damaging to reputation and privacy.” Id. at 35. The Court held that “[t]he prevention of the abuse that can attend the coerced production of information under [the] discovery rule[s] is sufficient justification for the authorization of protective orders,” id. at 35-36, thereby affirming the confidentiality of the plaintiffs’ financial information under the terms of the protective order entered by the state trial court. Subsequently, other courts have held that there is no right to publicly disseminate discovery that has not been filed with a court. See, e.g., Bond v. Utreras, 585 F.3d 1061, 1073 (7th Cir. 2009).Under the terms of the protective order entered in this case, a party may designate discovery material as confidential if there is a good faith basis for the belief that it contains information that may subject a person or organization to a risk of imminent harm or undue harassment (Dkt. No. 106 at 1, ¶ 1(b)). Plaintiff alleges that, with others, Defendant “has attempted to foment, and to a substantial degree has succeeded in fomenting, an atmosphere of harsh and frightening repression against [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (“LGBTI”)] people in Uganda.” Sexual Minorities of Uganda v. Lively, 960 F. Supp. 2d 304, 309 (D. Mass. 2013). While Defendant’s liability for the repression and persecution of LGBTI individuals in Uganda remains at issue, the fact of the repression and persecution is well-established. Plaintiff has sufficiently demonstrated that public disclosure of the financial information about which Mr. Muguisha testified could result in imminent harm to, or undue harassment of, Plaintiff and LGBTI persons in Uganda (Dkt. Nos. 213 , 213 -1, 213 -2). Accordingly, and for the foregoing reasons, Plaintiff’s motion is GRANTED. (Calderon, Melissa) (Entered: 09/23/2015) |
