Re: Joe Gano v. Donald Mark Ehart and Spread Eagle, Inc.
Delaware District Court, C.A. No. 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.
Plaintiffs counsel is currently in the process of finalizing a confidentiality agreement with
Deputy Attorney General Ralph K. Durstein that would provide Plaintiff with access to the family court
records in Defendants Mark Ehart’s custody and support proceedings. The confidentiality agreement
would require the signature of both Plaintiff s and Defendants’ counsel.
At this time, Defendants’ counsel has taken the position that these doctunents are privileged and
irrelevant to the instant litigation. Plaintiff s counsel would like to continue working with Deputy
Attorney General Durstein to finalize the confidentiality agreement, and further discuss ways to resolve
the issue with Defendants’ counsel.
Plaintiff s counsel suggests that the parties report back to your Honor within one week regarding
the status of their resolution of this issue, unless the Court prefers to speak with the parties at an earlier
time.
