_______________________________

ORDER

Pending before the Court is the Motion by Counsel Brad C. Parrott for
Leave of Absence [# 16]. Counsel for Plaintiff seeks to obtain secured leave for
various dates in 2016 and 2017. This Court, however, does not allow attorneys to
obtain secured leave. While the Court will certainly take into account counsel’s
current schedule when setting any future hearings in this matter, this Court cannot
guarantee counsel that such hearings will not occur on the dates for which he seeks
to obtain secured leave.
Moreover, it is up to counsel for Plaintiff and Defendant to schedule
depositions, not this Court. Presumably, counsel can work with opposing counsel
to schedule all depositions at a mutual agreeable time and date that will not impact
-1-

his currently scheduled vacations. Accordingly, the Court DENIES the motion
[# 16].
