Case No.: 20--11466

Plaintiff,
v.

Nancy G. Edmunds
United States District Judge

THE PROFESSIONAL GROUP,

Curtis Ivy, Jr.
United States Magistrate Judge

Defendant.
____________________________/
ORDER EXTENDING DISPOSTIVE MOTION DEADLINE
On July 31, 2022, Plaintiff moved to modify the case management and
scheduling order and to extend pretrial deadlines in order to conduct discovery.
(ECF No. 40; ECF No. 50, PageID.591). On August 25, 2022, Defendant filed a
motion for summary judgment. (ECF No. 44). On October 25, 2022, the
undersigned granted in part Plaintiff’s motion and extended the discovery
deadlines sixty days from the entry of the order, setting a new discovery deadline
of December 24, 2022. (ECF No. 53, PageID.701). In order to allow for full
discovery and full briefing on the contested issues, the undersigned recommended
Defendant’s motion for summary judgment be denied without prejudice, on
December 5, 2022, allowing the Defendant to refile a motion for summary
judgment pending the completion of discovery. (ECF No. 45). Because the Court

extended discovery deadlines, the Court determines there is good cause for an
extension of the dispositive motion deadline. For this reason, dispositive motions
must be filed on or before January 6, 2023.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
The parties here may object to and seek review of this Order, but are
required to file any objections within 14 days of service as provided for in Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 72(a) and Local Rule 72.1(d). A party may not assign as
error any defect in this Order to which timely objection was not made. Fed. R.
Civ. P. 72(a). Any objections are required to specify the part of the Order to which
the party objects and state the basis of the objection. When an objection is filed to
a magistrate judge’s ruling on a non-dispositive motion, the ruling remains in
effect unless it is stayed by the magistrate judge or a district judge. E.D. Mich.
Local Rule 72.2.

Date: December 5, 2022,
