MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiffs Motion for Extension of Discovery ~eadline
(ECF No. 27). Plaintiff filed his motion on October 30, 2014, and Defendant filed a response in
opposition on October 31 , 2014. Plaintiff has not filed a reply brief, and the time for doing so
has expired. Upon review Plaintiffs motion and Defendant' s response, the Court will deny the
Motion for Extension of Discovery Deadline.
Plaintiff filed this employment discrimination action on December 27, 2013. United
States District Judge Henry E. Autrey issued a Case Management Order ("CMO") on March 14,
2014, with a discovery deadline of October 30, 2014, a date the parties agreed to in their Joint
Scheduling Plan. The CMO further provides that " [n]o later than twenty-one (21) days
preceding the deadline for completion of discovery, any party may request in a written motion
that the Court hold a supplemental conference to discuss issues of scheduling and management
of the action. WHETHER TO GRANT SUCH A REQUEST IS A MATTER FOR THE
COURT'S DISCRETION." (Case Management Order of 3/14/ 14, ECF No. 11 )
Here, Plaintiff failed to file a request for a conference to discuss scheduling issues within
21 days of the discovery deadline and thus failed to comply with the CMO. Instead, Plaintiff
filed a motion for extension on the date the discovery deadline expired. As such, the
undersigned will deny Plaintiffs motion for failure to comply with the Court' s Case
Management Order.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiffs Motion for Extension of Discovery
Deadline (ECF No. 27) is DENIED.
Dated this 12th
Day of November, 2014.
