ORDER
This matter is before the Court on defendants’ motion
for leave to respond to plaintiffs’ reply brief and to reconsider
the Court’s order granting a motion for protective order pursuant
to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c) (Filing No. 52).
Defendants had sought to compel plaintiffs’ attendance at
depositions in Omaha, Nebraska, scheduled for November 28-29,
2011.
Plaintiffs, who live in Dallas, Texas, filed a motion for
protective order requesting that the depositions take place in
Dallas, rather than in Omaha (Filing No. 42).
Defendants filed a
brief in opposition to the motion for protective order (Filing
No. 45).
Plaintiffs then filed a reply brief in support of their
motion, to which they attached three affidavits outlining the
difficulties they would have if required to attend depositions in
Nebraska (Filing No. 46).
The Court granted the motion for
protective order, ruling quickly so that the parties could be on
notice where the depositions, scheduled for November 28 and 29,
2011, would take place.
The Court understands that the depositions did not take
place as scheduled.
In light of defendants’ objection that they
did not have an opportunity to respond to plaintiffs’ affidavits
attached to plaintiffs’ reply brief, the Court will grant
defendants’ motion to file a surreply brief in response to
plaintiffs’ reply brief and accompanying affidavits.
The Court
will stay its protective order pending defendants’ surreply.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED:
1)
The order granting plaintiffs’ motion for
protective order (Filing No. 48) is stayed; and
2)
Defendants shall file a surreply brief with the
Court responding to plaintiffs’ reply brief and affidavits by
December 6, 2011.
DATED this 29th day of November, 2011.
BY THE COURT:
/s/ Lyle E. Strom
