Dckt. No. 33. However, the discovery deadline in this case was March 25, 2011. See Feb. 7, 2011 Stip. & Order, Dckt. No. 30; see also Nov. 18, 2010 Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order, Dckt. No. 23. As set forth in the Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order, the discovery deadline is the date on which all discovery is to be "completed," which "means that all discovery shall have been conducted so that all depositions have been taken and any disputes relative to discovery shall have been resolved by appropriate order if necessary and, where discovery has been ordered, the order has been obeyed." Dckt. No. 23; see also Dckt. No. 30 (continuing the discovery completion deadline that was originally set forth in the Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order to March 25, 2011). 1
