THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE COURT on Plaintiff’s “Motion For Leave To File
Supplemental Brief” (Document No. 13) filed December 7, 2017; and Plaintiff’s “Supplemental
Motion For Leave To File Supplemental Brief” (Document No. 14) filed December 8, 2017. These
motions have been referred to the undersigned Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b),
and immediate review is appropriate. Having carefully considered the motions and the record, and
noting consent of Defendant, the undersigned will now grant Plaintiff’s “Supplemental Motion For
Leave To File Supplemental Brief” (Document No. 14).
Plaintiff’s original motion failed to indicate that the parties had conferred pursuant to Local
Rule 7.1(B); however, the parties now agree to supplemental briefing in this matter. See
(Document Nos. 13 and 14).
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that Plaintiff’s “Motion For Leave To File
Supplemental Brief” (Document No. 13) is DENIED AS MOOT.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff’s “Supplemental Motion For Leave To File
Supplemental Brief” (Document No. 14) is GRANTED.

Plaintiff’s counsel may file a

supplemental brief of five (5) pages or less, on or before December 22, 2017; and Defendant’s

counsel may file a responsive supplemental brief of five (5) pages or less, on or before January
12, 2018.
SO ORDERED.
