Special Master Raymond J. Dearie established a case management plan with document log deadlines, processing procedures, and handling specifications for the Justice Department and former President Donald Trump's counsel to follow in ongoing disputes over seized Mar-a-Lago documents. The case management plan includes the recruitment of former United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of New York James Orenstein (ret.), who currently holds Top Secret clearance, to assist Dearie's work for an "efficient administration of the Special Master’s duties." The parties are able to file objections or motions to adopt or modify the case management plan until Sept. 27, after which any rights to object to the plan will have been waived.
