Case No. 11-CV-12620
Plaintiff,
v.
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, et al.
Defendants.

ORDER SUSPENDING DISPOSITIVE MOTION DEADLINE
After a hearing on Defendants’ second motion to dismiss (Dkt. 44), the Court issued an
Order denying Defendants’ motion, but imposing certain sanctions. 10/11/13 Order (Dkt. 53).
As part of that Order, the Court set a new schedule for this action, including setting a dispositive
motion deadline of December 23, 2013. Id. at 10.
On November 25, 2013, Defendants filed a third motion to dismiss, alleging further
violations of the Court’s Orders by Plaintiff.

Defs.’ Third Mot. to Dismiss (Dkt. 55).

Defendants claim that Plaintiff’s purported violations make it difficult to comply with the
December 23, 2013 deadline. Id. at 3; Defs.’ Br. at 12 (Dkt. 55). Also on November 25,
Plaintiff filed a motion for relief from judgment, in which she requests that the previously
imposed monetary sanctions be assessed against her former counsel instead of against her
personally. Pl.’s Mot. for Relief from J. (Dkt. 56).
In light of the parties’ recent motions, as well as the briefing schedule set forth by Local
Rule 7.1(e), the Court concludes that the December 23, 2013 deadline for dispositive motions is
no longer tenable. Accordingly, the Court suspends this deadline. The Court will set a new

1

deadline for dispositive motions, to the extent necessary, following a decision on the pending
motions.
SO ORDERED.
