Letter Regarding Agreement of Parties in Response to April 22, 2025 Order by Pennzoil-Quaker State Company, Shell Trademark Management B.V.

ORDER: Presently before the Court are (1) the parties' joint submission regarding the agreed-upon proposed schedule and the disputed request for appointment of a master (DE 140), and (2) the parties' separate submissions regarding deposition logistics (DE 139, DE 141, DE 142). All these submissions (three of which are designated as "Motions") are GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART as follows:. Shell's Proposed Depositions: Shell identifies four witnesses by name and two additional Rule 30(b)(6) witnesses and sets forth the location and method of these depositions. DE 139 at 4. As there is no apparent objection to these depositions (DE 141), these requests are GRANTED. However, any relief regarding depositions of unidentified third parties (DE 139 at 4) is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE as premature. Furthermore, the Court is not ruling at this time on any potential issues in the future relating to the scope of Rule 30(b)(6) deposition topics. Polsinello's Proposed Depositions: Polsinello identifies two witnesses by name and one additional Rule 30(b)(6) witness and sets forth the location and method of these depositions. DE 142. As there is no apparent objection to these depositions (DE 141), these requests are GRANTED. However, the Court is not ruling at this time on any potential issues in the future relating to the apparent overlap between witnesses identified by both Polsinello and Shell (e.g., whether these witnesses need to sit for two separate depositions). Furthermore, the Court is not ruling at this time on any potential issues in the future relating to the scope of Rule 30(b)(6) deposition topics. 3. Oil Depot's Proposed Depositions of Polsinello: Oil Depot identifies three witnesses by name and sets forth the locations and method of these depositions. DE 141 at 1. As there is no apparent objection to these depositions (DE 142), these requests are GRANTED. 4. Oil Depot's Proposed Depositions of Shell: Oil Depot identifies eight witnesses by name and one additional Rule 30(b)(6) witness and sets forth the locations and method of these depositions. DE 141 at 1. As there is no apparent objection to the depositions of Witnesses Nos. 4-9 (id.), these requests are GRANTED. Furthermore, the Court is not ruling at this time on any potential issues in the future relating to the scope of Rule 30(b)(6) deposition topics. However, the parties still disagree about the location of the depositions of Shell employees Kathryn Couch, Breen Sandlin, and Rodel Dadivas (Witnesses Nos. 1-3). Compare DE 141 at 1-2 (Oil Depot seeks to conduct them in person in New York), with DE 139 at 3 (Shell counters that they should be conducted in person in Houston or by videoconference). In support of its argument, Shell represents (apparently for the first time) that each of these witnesses has some form of personal commitment in the Houston area. See DE 139 at 3 (Couch is "caretaker for a relative that [sic] recently had surgery," Sandlin is "a mother with caretaking responsibilities," and Dadivas is "recovering from health issues that make travel difficult"); DE 141 at 2 (Oil Depot noting that the explanations for Couch and Dadivas had never been shared until very recently). The Court declines to accept Shell's claims based on this thin record. To the extent that Couch, Sandlin, and Dadivas have good faith explanations regarding the claimed burden in traveling to New York for depositions, it is hereby ORDERED that Couch, Sandlin, and Dadivas shall each submit sworn declarations (including no exhibits) by 5/9/2025 with the detailed basis for these claims. Oil Depot shall not respond to these submissions. Finally, Shell's apparent request that Oil Depot depose Matthew Urbanak instead of Kathryn Couch (DE 139 at 3, DE 141 at 1 n.1) is DENIED. 5. Oil Depot's Proposed Depositions of Non-Parties: Oil Depot apparently seeks to depose two non-parties. DE 139 at 3. However, any relief regarding depositions of unidentified third parties is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE as premature. 6. Revised Schedule: The Court APPROVES the parties' agreed-upon revisions to the current schedule. DE 140 at 1-2. The new deadlines are as follows: close of fact discovery on 8/29/2025, party burden expert report on 9/30/2025, party without burden expert report on 10/31/2025, last day to serve expert discovery on 11/7/2025, rebuttal expert reports on 12/5/2025, expert discovery cut off on 1/7/2026, completion of all discovery on 1/7/2026, dispositive motion first step on 1/30/2026. 7. Calendaring of Depositions: The Court ORDERS the parties to engage in good faith and professional discussions immediately without any further delay regarding scheduling of the depositions approved by the Court. To be clear, the parties shall not delay this process or await any further rulings from the Court on any and all current, future, or hypothetical forms of relief before calendaring and conducting depositions. It is therefore ORDERED that the parties shall submit by 5/30/2025 a joint status report (limited to two pages with no exhibits) with the confirmed dates for all approved depositions. 8. Special Master and "Outstanding Discovery Disagreements" : Oil Depot's request for appointment of a special master to address unidentified "outstanding discovery disagreements" is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE at this time. DE 140 at 2. Oil Depot's implicit request to delay depositions and/or a mediation pending resolution of unidentified "outstanding discovery disagreements" is DENIED WITH PREJUDICE. Id. Furthermore, it is ORDERED that the parties shall refrain (absent a showing of good cause supported by a sworn attorney declaration) from any further submissions to the undersigned until after (a) the exchange of Rule 26(g)(1) certifications on 4/28/2025 (DE 134, 3/28/2025 Order, 3/31/2025 Order), (b) the Court issues its ruling regarding the depositions of Couch, Sandlin, and Dadivas, and (c) good faith meet and confer efforts regarding any and all open issues. Any and all future submissions to the Court regarding so-called "outstanding discovery disagreements" or the need for a special master shall be in the form of a joint letter limited to four pages with no exhibits. 9. 12Any and All Other Relief Sought by Shell and Oil Depot: As is typical of their uncooperative behavior with each other and their continued inability to present their positions to the Court in an organized manner, Shell and Oil Depot's submissions are replete with excessive caveats, purported reservation of rights, and arguments buried in excessive footnotes. If not addressed herein, any and all other relief sought by Shell and Oil Depot in DE 139, DE 140, and DE 141 is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. 10. Future Submissions to the Undersigned: Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, the parties shall comply with the following regarding any future submissions to the undersigned: (1) joint letters limited to four pages with no exhibits, and (2) individual letters limited to two pages with no exhibits. The further use of any footnotes is PROHIBITED. Any future reservation of rights is STRONGLY DISFAVORED. The parties are expected to make clear, concise, coherent, and direct submissions to the Court in the future. Failure to comply may result in the summary denial of any requested relief. 11. Conduct at Depositions: Finally, in light of the parties' well documented history of being entirely incapable and/or unwilling to work cooperatively in advancing discovery without extensive judicial intervention, the Court believes that it is necessary to place all parties and their counsel on notice that it will not tolerate unprofessional, disruptive, or obstructionist behavior at the upcoming depositions which, if it occurs, could result in various forms of relief, including, but limited to, sanctions and costs. Ordered by Magistrate Judge Lee G. Dunst on 4/22/2025.

RESPONSE to Motion re 99 Letter MOTION to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim (CORRECTED Request for pre-motion conference, motion schedule, or dismissal of the amended counterclaims) filed by The Oil and Lubricant Depot LLC, The Individuals and Business Entities Identified on Schedule A.

ORDER: The stipulation permitting Depot to amend its Amended Counterclaim and Third-Party Complaint to identify Polsinello Fuels, Inc. as the operating company (DE 100) is GRANTED. The Court approves the new deadlines that the parties agree to (DE 101 at 1), as follows: (1) the last day to serve fact discovery shall be 4/2/2024 and (2) fact discovery shall be completed by 5/2/2025. The parties disagree regarding the scheduling of expert discovery and dispositive motion practice. See id. at 3-5. In light of the complexity of this case and the need for efficient management of this matter, the Court rejects Defendant Depot's accelerated expert discovery schedule (id. at 4-5) as wholly unrealistic and unmanageable. The undersigned therefore APPROVES the schedule proposed by Plaintiff Shell and Third-Party Defendant Posinello (id. at 3) as follows: (1) party with burden expert reports due 6/2/2025; (2) party without burden expert reports due 7/2/2025; (3) last day to serve expert discovery shall be 7/31/2025; (4) rebuttal expert reports due 8/4/2025; (5) expert discovery cutoff shall be 8/29/2025; (6) all discovery shall be completed by 9/5/2025; and (7) the final date to take the first step in dispositive motion practice, if any, consistent with the Individual Practice Rules of Judge Azrack, shall be 9/26/2025. As set forth in DE 101 at 1-2, Plaintiff Shell represents that it has completed its production of the quality control documents. The Court acknowledges Defendant Depot's commentary about this production (id. at 3-4), but the Court finds that these questions are best addressed during the course of depositions as this case proceeds. Therefore, as Plaintiff Shell has satisfied the Court's explicit condition regarding the quality control documents that the undersigned ordered at the 9/24/2024 Status Conference (see DE 88 & DE 96), Defendant Depot is hereby ORDERED to now produce the selected categories of documents identified in DE 86 as per DE 88 ("For the reasons stated on the record. Plaintiff's motion to compel discovery responses at DE 86 by Defendant Depot is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART."). The Court rejects Defendant Depot's incorrect suggestion the undersigned's rulings on 9/24/2024 "were not final" (DE 101 at 4) and rejects any apparent reservation of rights by Defendant Depot (id. at 5). The Court was quite clear on 9/24/2024 that this was a final decision on these discovery issues, and the undersigned does not intend to revisit this subject absent a good faith effort to meet and confer among the parties. During the 9/24/2024 Status Conference, the undersigned indicated that it was inclined to grant Plaintiff Shell's pending Motion to Amend the Complaint (DE 81), but would hold the motion in abeyance pending production of the quality control standards. As Plaintiff Shell has satisfied that condition (and in light of the liberal standard under Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)), Plaintiff Shell's Motion to Amend the Complaint (DE 81) is GRANTED. The Court has reviewed Defendant Depot's objections to this motion (DE 84) and finds them unconvincing in light of the Rule 15(a) standard and the relatively early stage of discovery in this case. To the extent not addressed herein, any and all other relief requested by the parties in DE 101 is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. The parties remain obligated to submit joint status reports on 11/12/2024 and 12/12/2024, and shall refrain from any further filings with the undersigned absent a showing of good cause (unless such a filing is specifically ordered by the Court). Finally, as to the pending discovery dispute regarding a privilege claim by Third-Party Defendant Posinello (see DE [92-1] & DE 93), the parties shall submit by 10/25/2024 a copy of the so-called "Common Interest Agreement" between Shell and Posinello (DE 93 at 5). Ordered by Magistrate Judge Lee G. Dunst on 10/16/2024.

Minute Order for proceedings held on 9/24/2024 before Magistrate Judge Lee G. Dunst: Civil Cause for Status Conference. Counsel for Plaintiff: Peter Guirguis, Ryan James Miller, Tyson David Smith. Counsel for Defendant: Jonathan E. Moskin, Roma Patel. FTR #: 11:03-11:22, via Zoom Teleconference. Case called. Counsel for all sides present. For the reasons stated on the record, the Court ordered as follows: (1) no discovery master will be appointed at this time. However, the parties are on notice that such a master may be appointed in the future as needed; (2) Plaintiff has one final opportunity to produce and clearly identify its trademark quality control standards (see DE 86) by no later than 10/15/2024; (3) Plaintiff's motion to compel discovery responses at DE 86 by Defendant Depot is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART. However, Defendant Depot's supplemental production per this Order is held IN ABEYANCE pending Plaintiff's aforementioned production of its trademark quality control standards; (4) Any and all additional relief requested in DE 86 is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE; (5) Defendant Depot's unopposed motion to amend (DE 82) is GRANTED; (6) Plaintiff's motion to amend (DE 81) is held IN ABEYANCE pending Plaintiff's aforementioned production of its trademark quality control standards; (7) The parties shall refile the letter at DE 87 regarding the Polsinello discovery dispute (see 9/23/2024 Order) by 10/15/2024, but only if they comply with the proper legal standards governing the limited sealing of Court records; (8) The schedule at DE 68 remains in place. Any joint request to revise the schedule shall be filed by 10/15/2024; (9) The parties shall file a joint status report on 10/15/2024, as well as 11/12/2024 and 12/12/204 (see DE 78); and (10) The parties shall refrain from any additional filings with the undersigned absent a showing of good cause. SO ORDERED by Magistrate Judge Lee G. Dunst on 9/24/2024.

ORDER denying 87 Motion for Leave to Electronically File Document under Seal. Defendants' Motion for Leave to Seal at DE 87 is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Per DE 87, Defendants seek leave of the Court to file a letter entirely under seal regarding a discovery dispute. This sealing request is wildly overbroad and fails to comply with the undersigned's Individual Practice Rule III.E ("In filing such a motion, the parties are urged to consider the current jurisprudence regarding the legal standards relating to public access to documents filed with the Court. See, e.g., Brown v. Maxwell, 929 F.3d 41 (2d Cir. 2019) ("the Supreme Court has recognized a qualified right 'to inspect and copy judicial records and documents'") (citation omitted)."). Furthermore, the Court will not enable Defendants' obvious gamesmanship in waiting until the eve of the Status Conference on 9/24/2024 at 11:00 AM to file the sealed letter regarding this discovery dispute. The parties shall refrain from any further filings prior to tomorrow's Status Conference. Ordered by Magistrate Judge Lee G. Dunst on 9/23/2024.

Letter re Joint Status Report regarding discovery by Pennzoil-Quaker State Company, Shell Trademark Management B.V.

ORDER. It appears to the Court that the parties have been unable to resolve the myriad of discovery issues in this case despite repeated and explicit warnings by District Judge Joan M. Azrack and the undersigned. See DEs 83 and 84. Now, with these long-standing discovery issues apparently still unresolved, the parties seek to expand the scope of this case by adding additional claims and additional parties. See DEs 81 and 82. In the interests of judicial efficiency and case management, all motions to amend (DEs 81 and 82) are HELD IN ABEYANCE at this time and will be addressed in the future (if necessary) but only after the Court has first determined that these open discovery issues have been resolved or sufficiently narrowed. See generally Dietz v. Bouldin, 579 U.S. 40, 45 (2016) (asserting that the Court has "the inherent authority to manage their dockets and courtrooms with a view toward the efficient and expedient resolution of cases"). The parties' next joint status report is due on 9/9/2024. See DE 78. That report shall provide a clear and succinct update on the status of discovery and whether the parties have resolved their disputes. The Court also directs the parties to meet and confer orally by telephone, video-conference and/or in person (not by email or written correspondence) regarding the current status of discovery issues and possible amendment of their pleadings and then provide the Court with a joint update on these discussions in their next status report. Furthermore, the parties shall address in their joint submission whether the Court should appoint a discovery master in this case pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 53(a)(1)(C). See Seggos v. Datre, No. 17-CV-2684, 2017 WL 11681160, at *2-4 (E.D.N.Y. Dec. 19, 2017) (discussion of legal standards regarding appointment of master and apportionment of costs between the parties). Finally, the parties shall refrain from any further filings with the undersigned prior to 9/9/2024 absent a showing of good cause. Ordered by Magistrate Judge Lee G. Dunst on 8/19/2024.

Letter by The Individuals and Business Entities Identified on Schedule A

ORDER denying 73 Motion for Discovery. Defendants' Letter Motion for Discovery (DE 73) DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Presently before the Court is a joint letter at DE 73 regarding discovery issues raised by Defendants The Oil and Lubricant Depot LLC and Steven Krausman, Plaintiffs' letter at DE 74 purporting to change its portion of the joint letter, and Defendants' reply at DE 75 to Plaintiffs' letter. These letters were all submitted within a 24-hour time period and collectively exceed 160 pages. The Court is rejecting all these submissions and DENYING WITHOUT PREJUDICE any relief sought therein due to multiple violations of the undersigned's Individual Practice Rules, including Rule I.B.2 (failure to "act professionally and cooperate with each other in all phases of discovery and be courteous in their dealings with each of other"), Rule IV.C (failure to adequately meet and confer), Rule IV.D.1 (submission of excessive attachments in connection with the joint motion), and Rule IV.D.2 (improper submission of additional letters subsequent to the filing of the joint letter). Therefore, Defendants' Letter Motion for Discovery (DE 73) is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE and any further relief sought in the subsequent letters (DE 74 and DE 75) are also DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. If the parties are unable to resolve the issues raised in the aforementioned letters, they may refile one joint letter that complies with the undersigned's Individual Practice Rules. It is furthered ORDERED that parties shall submit a joint status report (limited to three pages with no exhibits) by 7/9/2024.

NOTICE by Pennzoil-Quaker State Company, Shell Trademark Management B.V. re Scheduling Order, - Joint Notice of Discovery Schedule

ORDER denying 28 Motion for Leave to Electronically File Document under Seal. Per DE 28, Defendants seeks to seal in its entirety its Answer and supporting exhibits, claiming that it contains "confidential information." The Court disagrees with Defendants' request for total sealing. Defendants has made no effort to redact out portions of its 27-page Answer and exhibits which, in the Courts opinion, certainly should be part of the public record as a judicial document. See, e.g., Nielson Consumer LLC v. Circana Grp., L.P., No. 22-CV-3235, 2024 WL 990073 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 6, 2024) (general discussion of legal standard regarding sealing motions); see generally Restivo v. Hessemann, 846 F.3d 547, 592 (2d Cir. 2017) (holding that it is not "the district court's job either to do the [parties'] homework or to take heroic measures aimed at salvaging the [parties] from the predictable consequences of self-indulgent lassitude"). Therefore, Defendants' motion to seal at DE 28 is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. It is further ORDERED that Defendants shall file either (1) a revised sealing motion (consistent with this order), or (2) its Answer in unredacted form on the public docket by 4/26/2024.
