ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR

Defendants.

Re: Dkt. No. 143

15

Plaintiffs seek jurisdictional and venue discovery to oppose pending motions to dismiss for

16

lack of personal jurisdiction and to transfer venue to the Middle District of Florida. See Docket

17

No. 143 (joint discovery letter). The Court finds that the subject matter covered by Plaintiffs’

18

document requests and interrogatories relating to jurisdiction and venue is, in general, appropriate

19

for discovery. Therefore, the Court GRANTS Plaintiffs’ request. The Court further finds,

20

however, that the parties have not seriously met and conferred as to the appropriate scope of the

21

venue and jurisdiction document requests and interrogatories. Accordingly, the parties are

22

directed to meet and confer to address this issue. The parties shall also negotiate: 1) a schedule

23

for the venue and jurisdictional discovery; 2) a new hearing date for the pending motions; and 3)

24

dates for filing the opposition and reply briefs on those motions. These dates shall be submitted to

25

the Court in the form of a stipulation. The hearing dates on the pending motions (docket nos. 115,

26

118 and 129) are vacated, as are the dates for filing the opposition and reply briefs on those

2

motions.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
