Filing 311

ORDER granting 293 Sealed Motion. Signed by Magistrate Judge R. Steven Whalen. (GWil)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION ERNEST FLAGG, as Next Friend of JONATHAN BOND, Plaintiff, v. CITY OF DETROIT, et.al., Defendants. / ORDER Before the Court is Defendant City of Detroit's Motion for Extension of Time in Which to Comply with the Court's Order Compelling Discovery [Docket #293]. The Plaintiff has not filed a response, making this an unopposed motion. Pursuant to E.D. Mich. L.R. 7.1(e)(2), the motion will be determined without oral hearing. This Court's order of January 15, 2010 [Docket #278] directed that the discovery ordered therein be produced within seven days, or January 22, 2010. Defendant requests an additional 14 days. Having reviewed the motion, I find that this request is not unreasonable. Of course, more than 14 days have elapsed since January 22nd. However, I note that the Court has extended the discovery cut-off date to May 28, 2010. Therefore, in order to accommodate both Plaintiff's need for timely production of this discovery and Defendant's apparent difficulty in collecting a large amount of material, and to avoid additional discovery-related litigation, I will generously permit the Defendant to produce the discovery ordered in my January 15th Order [Docket #278] no later than 14 days from the date of this Order, or March 2, 2010. Defendant's failure to comply with this Order may result in the imposition of
