| 09/07/2021 | 82 | Minute Entry for proceedings held before Magistrate Judge Walter E. Johnson: On September 7, 2021, the Court held a telephone conference with the parties regarding defendants intent to issue subpoenas for plaintiff’s job applications and performance evaluations to his subsequent employers, Neiman Marcus and Georgia Regional Hospital. The Court finds that those records are relevant to the subject matter of this action and thus discoverable. Accordingly, the Court DENIES plaintiff’s oral motion for protective order regarding the records sought by these subpoenas. Furthermore, in light of the personal nature of those records, the Court directs the parties to file a proposed consent protective order. (Tape #FTR)(klb) (Entered: 09/07/2021) |

| 01/13/2022 | 112 | ORDER – Pursuant to this Court’s Order of October 26, 2020 45 , counsel for plaintiff requested a conference to address a discovery dispute. The parties submitted their legal positions via email ( 109 , 110 ). This Court held a telephonic hearing regarding this matter on January 13, 2022. This discovery dispute concerns the personal diary of retired Clayton County Juvenile Court Judge Steven C. Teske. Upon review of the diary excerpts submitted, the Court agrees with defendant. As stated during the hearing, it is difficult to imagine a document more sensitive and private than one’s personal diary. Therefore, the Court DENIES plaintiff’s request to remove defendant’s designation of Judge Teske’s personal diary as confidential. The designation of the diary as confidential does not prevent a party from filing excerpts from it with the Court. (See Order 85 6.) Signed by Magistrate Judge Walter E. Johnson on 1/13/22.

| 03/23/2022 | 149 | ORDER – the Court GRANTS IN PART Defendant’s Emergency Motion to Seal 146 and DIRECTS the Clerk to place the two deposition transcripts [134 & 141], and their attached exhibits, under seal. Given the need to act quickly, the Court seals the entire transcript instead of specific pages thereof. However, the Court will not order the sealing of plaintiff’s Memorandum [127-1] or his Statement of Undisputed Material Facts [127-2]. The Court has reviewed these filings and finds that their citations to, or quotations from, Judge Teske’s deposition or diary are in compliance with this Courts Order of January 13, 2022 112 . Indeed, the Court’s Report and Recommendation will likely quote the same language. The Court sealed Judge Teske’s diary because of the myriad of personal information contained therein that was irrelevant to this case, not because of the statements he wrote which are relevant to his decision to terminate plaintiff.
