Re: Joe Gano v. Donald Mark Ehart and Spread Eagle, Inc.
Delaware District Court, C.A. N0. 07-271-***
Dear Magistrate Thynge:
As per your Honor’s request, I am writing to update the Court on the parties’ attempt to resolve
the discovery issue discussed during the Court’s status conference in this matter.
Plaintiff issued a Request for Production of Documents to Defendant Ehart requesting certain
support records from Defendant Ehart’s support proceedings in the Delaware Family Court, which
include a valuation of Defendants’ business assets at issue in this action. Additionally, Plaintiff issued a
subpoena upon the Family Court to produce these records. The Family Court filed a Motion to Quash
Subpoena on October ll, 2007. The Court decided to reserve ruling upon the Motion to Quash to allow
the parties to amicably resolve the issue.
Plaintiff s counsel is working with Deputy Attorney General Ralph K. Durstein to finalize a
confidentiality agreement that would provide Plaintiff with access to the Family Court records in
Defendant Mark Eha1t’s custody and support proceedings. The confidentiality agreement would require
the signature of both Plaintiffs and Defendants’ counsel.
However, Defendants are unwilling to sign the confidentiality agreement. Thus, Plaintiff
respectfully requests that the Court intervene and schedule a teleconference to resolve this matter.
