The Court would appreciate input by way of a report and recommendation from Magistrate Judge Bernard Zimmerman on the pending motion to enlarge time to complete discovery. The pending motion by plaintiffs basically argues that defendants dragged their feet in producing documents despite diligence by plaintiff's counsel. The Court has once already extended the discovery cut-off and would be reluctant to do so again unless counsel's allegations are true. Magistrate Judge Zimmerman is very likely to have views on this subject from having supervised the discovery, so the Court would appreciate a report and recommendation if this can be done before May 20, 2009, at 9:00 a.m. A two-page report would be adequate.
