For clarification,itis the understanding that any stipulation to be made on thisissue would be with allparties tb the

accomplished promptly to the satisfaction of all,then any remaining disagreement should be resolved by motion. In
the meantime, itwould advance the interests of allconcerned in thiscase for those minutes, or portions of the minutes,
and exhibitsor parts of exhibits that are not in dispute to be p-ovidéd as required by the court order. (e-document 410).
Allparties to thiscivilaction are participating in e-filing.The suffolk County District Attorney is encouraged to
participate in e-filingsubmissions in thisaction as a non-party should motion practice be necessary. See 22 NYCRR §

interested parties could be delivered inthe same manner by e-mail.
In multiparty litigationitis often unwieldy to obtain stipulations of allinterested parties, itisfor this
reason the court prefers that ifa discovery disagreement, or in thiscase the scope and applicability of
the court's order, isin dispute and Is not subject to prompt resolution, then the issues should be
presented in a motion to the court where a complete record ismade, allparties can be given fairnotice
of the dispute together with an opportunity to be heard. Based upon the foregoing, itis recommended
that the DistrictAitürriey provide a schedule of minütes, or portions of the minutes, and exhibits or

the Plaintiffsinthis civilaction. Ifthe matter is not resolved to the satisfaction of allparties, ..
