ORDER
This matter comes before the Court on the Plaintiff, Florin Popov's Motion to Compel
Answers to Interrogatories Numbers 8, 12, 13, and 15 and First Request for Production Number
28 (Doc. #28) filed on August 3, 2012. On July 25, 2012, the Court issued its FLSA Scheduling
Order (Doc. # 27). In that Order, all discovery was stayed until the Court’s interrogatories are
answered and all production requested by the Court has been produced. Additionally, the Parties
are required to meet and make a good faith effort to settle the case. Thus, any discovery issued
prior to the Court’s Scheduling Order is stayed pending the completion of all of the discovery
and settlement negotiations delineated in that Order.
While the Parties filed a Case Management Report (Doc. # 18) on May 14, 2012, the
deadlines are moot until the deadlines in the Court’s FLSA Scheduling Order have expired and
the discovery and settlement requirements contained within said Order have been completed. At
that time, the Parties may file a new Amended Case Management Report.
Accordingly, it is now

ORDERED:
The Plaintiff, Florin Popov's Motion to Compel Answers to Interrogatories Numbers 8,
12, 13, and 15 and Frist Request for Production Number 28 (Doc. #28) is DENIED without
prejudice.
DONE and ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida this 6th day of August, 2012.
