Filing 21

ORDER Extending Deadlines and Permitting Targeted Discovery., ( Dispositive Motion Cut-off re-set for 7/23/2018)(See order for details) Signed by District Judge Robert H. Cleland. (LWag)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION

MARSHA DAVIS,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 17-12113

WAYNE COUNTY, et al.,
Defendants.
/
ORDER EXTENDING DEADLINES AND PERMITTING TARGETED DISCOVERY
The parties in this case have requested a second extension of their scheduled
discovery and dispositive motion deadlines. The court held a telephone conference with
counsel on April 30, 2018 to discuss the requested schedule modifications, and it called
on the parties to submit a memorandum to the court setting forth reasonable dates for
the completion of targeted discovery. Before the court is the parties’ memorandum; the
court finds the suggested dates reasonable and will adopt them.
The court notes that the parties dispute whether Plaintiff should be able to take
the deposition of a fourth identified individual, Sheriff Napoleon. The parties are in
apparent agreement, however, that the final decision as to Sheriff Napoleon’s
deposition should be made after the three agreed depositions are completed. In the
event that Plaintiff still believes that Sheriff Napoleon’s deposition is necessary, Plaintiff
may file a motion to compel the deposition no later than May 25, 2018. The court
anticipates, however, the possibility of deposition by agreement if Defendants decide
that Sheriff Napoleon’s deposition is warranted. Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff has until June 8, 2018 to complete the depositions
of Undersheriff Daniel Pfannes, Deputy Chief Tonya Guy, and Sergeant Karkaba.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendants respond to Plaintiff’s outstanding
discovery requests no later than June 8, 2018.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the dispositive motion deadline is reset for July
23, 2018.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that any optional motion to compel the deposition of
Sheriff Napoleon be filed no later than May 25, 2018.
