Background
The plaintiff, through counsel, asked the court to address a discovery dispute concerning documents about potential class members. The plaintiff stated that the parties had agreed to conditional certification of a collective involving certain non-exempt tipped employees employed by the defendants between December 2, 2018, and the present. The plaintiff also stated that he intended to pursue claims on a class-wide basis and would need documents for a potential class-certification motion.
The plaintiff said he requested six years of class-related documents and that the defendants refused to provide documents beyond those concerning the plaintiff, at least at that stage. He asked the court either to resolve the dispute or to hold a conference. The opinion text does not state the specific discovery terms the defendants ultimately agreed to provide.
