JOINT STATUS REPORT
JAMES L. ROBART, District Judge.
Plaintiffs THE HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENSE CENTER and MICHELLE DILLON and Defendants U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, ADMINISTRATION FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES and OFFICE OF REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT hereby provide the Court with a Joint Status Report pursuant to the Court's June 19, 2019 Order (Dkt. No. 29).
Since the last Joint Status Report, filed on June 17, 2019, the Defendants have represented that they identified roughly 4,000 Serious Incident Reports that are responsive to Plaintiffs' request and are able to process only 50 per month. Defendants have made a proposal to speed the process, and Plaintiffs are currently evaluating that proposal.
Once these issues are addressed, the parties will begin to negotiate a plan for release of the requested litigation-related documents.
The parties propose a joint status report to be filed on or before July 22, 2019.
