[PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S EMERGENCY
RENEWED MOTION FOR LEAVE TO CONDUCT
LIMITED DISCOVERY ON AN EXPEDITED SCHEDULE
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff S. Victor Whitmill’s Emergency Renewed
Motion for Leave to Conduct Limited Discovery on an Expedited Schedule (the “Motion”). (Doc.
__.) Having reviewed the discovery requests, considered the arguments, and good cause having
been shown,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff may propound the Expedited Discovery
Requests (the “Discovery Requests”) attached to his Motion before the time otherwise allowed
under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure without further service, and that the following schedule
will apply:
1.

Defendant Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc. (“Warner Bros.”), shall serve its

responses to the Discovery Requests by hand delivery, electronic mail, or facsimile
transmission, no later than 5:00 p.m., Wednesday, June 8, 2011.
4.

Nothing in this Order prejudices Defendant’s rights to seek discovery from

Plaintiffs on an expedited basis, subject to this Court’s scheduling order.

This schedule may be modified by Court Order, only upon written motion. Failure to
comply with any part of this Order may result in the imposition of sanctions.
