ORDER
________________________________________________________________________
On April 17, 2012, the court conducted a telephonic conference in this case.
Consistent with the court’s oral ruling during the conference,
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED:
1.

That the EEOC having represented that all claimants have now been
identified, the EEOC will make the two newly identified claimants, Keisha
Anderson and Shequita Henderson, available for depositions next week in
Memphis—their depositions to be taken prior to the alleged harasser’s
deposition, unless the parties otherwise agree.

2. That prior to next week’s depositions, the EEOC will make a good faith effort
to supplement initial disclosures and provide information related to the two
new claimants that is responsive to prior written discovery requests
propounded by the defendants.

3. That if after the depositions of the two new claimants further
supplementation/responses to written discovery is made by the EEOC and
said discovery responses merit reconvening the depositions of the two new
claimants—as determined by the court—the court will allow the depositions
to be reopened.
4. That deadlines in this matter are extended as follows:
a. All discovery shall be completed on or before 7/2/12.
b. All dispositive motions shall be filed on or before 7/30/12.
5.

That no further extensions will be allowed short of a continuance of the
current trial setting.

SO ORDERED THIS 18th day of April, 2012.
