ORDER GRANTING JOINT MOTION TO EXTEND
DEADLINES TO FILE MOTIONS TO COMPEL
THIS MATTER is before the Court on the parties’ Joint Motion to Extend
Deadline for Parties to Move to Compel Answers and Responses to Parties’ First Sets
of Discovery, (Doc. 58), filed October 12, 2018. The parties state that Plaintiff received
Defendant’s responses to Plaintiff’s first set of discovery requests on September 28,
2018, and Defendant received Plaintiff’s responses to Defendant’s first set of discovery
requests on October 8, 2018. The parties ask the Court to extend each of the parties’
21-day deadlines to file motions to compel related to the discovery requests to
November 2, 2018, stating they need additional time to fully review the discovery
responses and objections and engage in good faith negotiations. The Court, having
considered the Motion, noting it is unopposed, and being otherwise fully advised, finds
that the Motion is well-taken and should be GRANTED.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the parties’ Joint Motion to Extend Deadline
for Parties to Move to Compel Answers and Responses to Parties’ First Sets of

Discovery, (Doc. 58), is GRANTED, and the deadline to file motions to compel related
to each of the parties’ first sets of discovery requests is extended to November 2, 2018.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
