MEMORANDUM AND ORDER REGARDING
JOINT MOTION FOR A SCHEDULING ORDER
(Dkt. No. 94)
March 3, 2014
PONSOR, U.S.D.J.
The parties’ Joint Motion for a Scheduling Order (Dkt.
No. 94) is hereby ALLOWED.

The court orders as follows:

1. Cross-motions for summary judgment in this case
will be filed on or before May 1, 2014.
2. Opposition to the motions will be filed by May
30, 2014.
3. Counsel will appear for argument on the motions
on June 4, 2014 at 2:00 p.m.
This schedule does not accommodate discovery as
requested by Petitioner.

The cross-motions may, of course,

be supported by affidavits, and Petitioner is free to oppose
Defendant’s cross-motion by invoking Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(d),
identifying the discovery that Petitioner contends would
generate a disputed issue of fact, and requesting a period

of time to conduct this discovery.

At the moment, however,

the need for discovery does not appear compelling.
It is So Ordered.
