DEFENDANTS
ORDER

Before the Court is Plaintiff’s Motion to Set Trial. ECF No. 15.1 The Court entered an
Initial Scheduling Order in this case on August 24, 2017, (ECF No. 13) setting forth various
deadlines including the time for discovery and the filing of summary judgment motions.
Defendants have until January 22, 2018, to file a motion for summary judgment after discovery is
completed. Plaintiff’s motion to set a date for trial is therefore premature at this time.
Accordingly, Plaintiff’s Motion to Set Trial (ECF No. 15) is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 19th day of September 2017.
