ORDER

Pending before the Court is the Motion to Compel [# 9] and Consent Motion
for Extension of Time [# 13]. Defendant moves to compel the production of
various documents. In addition, the parties jointly request a sixty day extension of
the discovery, mediation, and motion deadlines in this case. The current discovery
deadline is March 1, 2017. Trial is set for September 11, 2017.
Defendant moves to compel Plaintiff to produce documents responsive to its
discovery requests, including various medical records. In response to the Motion
to Compel, Plaintiff states that she does not oppose the motion but needs additional
time to obtain and produce the responsive documents. Accordingly, the Court
GRANTS the motion [# 9] and DIRECTS Plaintiff to respond fully to
-1-

Defendant’s discovery requests at issue by March 15, 2017. The Court will not
award fees or costs at this time but will reconsider doing so if Plaintiff fails to
comply with this Order and produce the documents that she admits are responsive
by March 15, 2017.
The Court also GRANTS in part the Consent Motion for Extension of Time
[# 13]. The Court extends the discovery, mediation, and dispositive motion
deadline in this case for thirty (30) days. Absent compelling circumstances, no
further extensions of time shall be granted by this Court.
