ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court on its own motion.
On March 11, 2019, Plaintiff filed a Motion for an Order Compelling Discovery from All
Defendants [Doc. 33]. Defendants have not responded to the motion.
Before the Court rules on Plaintiff’s motion, the Court will require Defendants to respond
to Plaintiff’s motion. Defendants shall respond within ten (10) days of this Order. If Defendant
has responded to Plaintiff’s discovery request that is the subject of the Plaintiff’s motion, the
Defendant shall file a status report with the Court regarding this issue.
Further, the discovery deadline for this case was on May 15, 2019. The Court will extend
that deadline pending resolution of this outstanding discovery dispute.
The Court, therefore, will hold the June 15, 2019 dispositive motions deadline in abeyance
until further order of the Court.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that:
(1) The Defendant shall respond to Plaintiff’s motion to compel discovery or file a status
report with the Court within ten (10) days of this Order in accordance with the terms
of this Order.

(2) The deadline for discovery and for the filing of dispositive motions as set forth in the
Court’s Pretrial Order and Case Management [Doc. 30] are hereby held in abeyance
until further order of this Court.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
