Third-Party Defendants.

The Court has received and reviewed the parties’ filings regarding: (1) permission to file a

19

motion for summary judgment (Dkt. Nos. 111, 114); (2) permission for plaintiffs to complete

20

certain third-party discovery after the fact discovery cutoff (Dkt. Nos. 113, 115, 116); and (3) a

21

discovery dispute as to the scope of the attorney-client privilege. (Dkt. No. 117) Having reviewed

22

the filings and the record in this matter, the Court HEREBY ORDERS as follows:

23

First, with regard to the letters filed seeking permission to file a motion for summary

24

judgment, the Court DEFERS the motion for summary judgment prefiling hearing, if any, until it

25

decides the pending motion to stay civil proceedings until expiration of the statute of limitations.

26

(See Dkt. No. 108 (motion to stay).)

27
28

Second, with regard to the administrative motion filed by plaintiffs seeking to permit
plaintiffs to complete third-party discovery after the fact discovery cutoff, the Court GRANTS a

1

limited extension on discovery. Thus, the revised fact discovery deadline is May 1, 2020.

2

Anything beyond this limited extension will require a showing with more specificity than what

3

plaintiffs demonstrated in the administrative motion.

4
5

Third, with regard to the jointly filed discovery letter brief, the Court REFERS the
discovery dispute to Magistrate Judge Thomas S. Hixson for consideration of this issue.

6

This Order terminates Docket Number 113.

7

IT IS SO ORDERED.
