ORDER
D.P. MARSHALL, JR., District Judge.
Baptist's motion to stay discovery, No 139, is partly granted, and partly denied, with instructions. First, Baptist need not respond to Whitley's fourth set of discovery requests. They're premature because they're so comprehensive. Second, Baptist must audit the current spreadsheet information and give Whitley its best estimate of how many members may be in the class. Third, counsel must meet and confer in person (video conference will do) about all discovery issues beyond the numerosity clarification. Fourth, if the Court of Appeals allows the interlocutory appeal of No 138, this Court will sua sponte stay any discovery beyond the numerosity clarification. Fifth, the Court reminds the parties to follow the Scheduling Order's provision about discovery disputes. Sixth, the Court reminds the parties of their joint report due by 15 November 2019 on numerosity and notice issues. No 138 at 21-22.
So Ordered.
