ORDER
By order entered May 9, 2012 (docket entry #116), the Court suspended all third–party
depositions previously scheduled in this case pending resolution of Defendant Skinner’s motion
to compel the production of documents. Plaintiff Helena Chemical Company (“Helena”) reports
that, while Helena does not concede that it is obligated to do so, it will soon provide the relief
sought by Defendant Skinner, which will enable depositions to resume on June 5, 2012.1 Based
on Helena’s response, Defendant Skinner’s motion to compel (docket entry #113) is DENIED
AS MOOT, and depositions may resume on June 5, 2012.
IT IS SO ORDERED THIS 16TH DAY OF MAY, 2012.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
