Before the court are cross-motions to compel. Responses have been filed to

Defendants’ motion to compel [Dkt. # 16] is GRANTED IN PART. Specifically,
Defendants’ counsel is DIRECTED to fully respond to Plaintiff’s outstanding discovery
responses by February 23, 2012. Failure to exercise diligence in order to adequately
respond to the responses will result in sanctions including, without limitation, preclusion
of undisclosed evidence at trial. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(b)(2). Counsel is further
DIRECTED to mutually cooperate to schedule (1) the deposition of Plaintiff to occur no
sooner than seven days following service of Defendants’ discovery responses and (2)

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the deadline to serve expert reports, for both
parties, is EXTENDED until the close of discovery.
