In re Dairy Farmers of America, Inc. Cheese Antitrust Litig., 09-cv-03690, (N.D. Ill.)

On March 12, 2014, the Honorable Maria Valdez substantially denied two motions to compel discovery filed by Defendant Schreiber Foods, Inc. Magistrate Judge Valdez (1) rejected Schreiber’s argument that it was entitled to discovery of certain undisclosed expert materials relating to damages estimates set forth in Plaintiffs’ memorandum of law in support of preliminary approval of their $46,000,000 proposed settlement with the DFA Defendants; (2) struck or modified multiple parts of Schreiber’s proposed contention interrogatories; and (3) rejected Schreiber’s argument that Plaintiffs’ responses to certain of Schreiber’s requests for admission were insufficient.
