ORDER SETTING DEADLINE TO PRODUCE REQUESTED
DISCOVERY AND SETTING TELEPHONE CONFERENCE
On October 4, 2011, the court resumed a hearing on Plaintiff’s motion for default
judgment for failure to provide discovery [Dkt. # 28], during which the parties reported
that they had developed a discovery plan going forward that permitted Plaintiff to
discover the information and documents it was seeking. Thereafter, on two occasions,
November 2 and 29, 2011, the court conducted telephonic status conferences with
counsel for Plaintiff and Defendants. During the second conference, Plaintiff’s counsel
indicated that Defendants had partially complied with the discovery requests, but
outstanding requests still remained. Defendants’ counsel agreed to complete the
remaining discovery contemplated in the parties’ October 4, 2011 discovery plan within
14 days of the November 29, 2011 conference. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Defendants shall respond to any outstanding discovery
requests made pursuant to the parties’ mutually agreed upon October 4, 2011 discovery
plan on or before December 13, 2011.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall participate in a telephonic
conference on December 20, 2011, at 10:00 a.m. The court will initiate the call.
