Case No. 18-00370-CV-W-HFS

MEMORANDUM TO COUNSEL
Through informal communication the parties jointly seek a hearing
regarding a discovery dispute on requests for, among other things, expert reports
and dates of certain payments.
There have been repeated discovery disputes requiring the court’s
intervention in this action. Plaintiffs most recent motion to compel discovery
(Doc. 37), and motion to file supplemental suggestions (Doc. 47) was stayed, due
to defendant’s early filing for summary judgment prior to the expiration of the
discovery deadline. (Order dated July 1, 2019, Doc. 62). Although plaintiff did not
oppose this early filing by defendant, she now joins with the request for a hearing
on discovery matters.

Absent acknowledgment from defendant that summary judgment was filed
prematurely, and request to withdraw the motion, discovery motions, as
previously ruled, are “STAYED pending consideration and review of defendant’s
motion for summary judgment.”

SO ORDERED.
