April 5 Discovery Deadline Set in Crown Castle Case vs. Contractor

U.S. District Judge Stephanie Gallagher for Maryland signed a scheduling order Monday (docket 1:22-cv-02497) setting an April 5 deadline for completing discovery in Crown Castle’s infrastructure complaint against commercial contractor Black Electric. A joint status report will be due when discovery is complete, said Gallagher’s order. Crown Castle alleges that the contractor’s workers damaged a conduit holding telecommunications fiber that Crown Castle had installed along Maryland's Hatem Bridge, but Black Electric last week denied the allegations and asked the court to dismiss the case with prejudice (see [Ref:2211160009[).
