ORDER

Before the Court is a Consent Motion to Toll Motions Deadline Pending
Hearing (the “Motion to Toll,” Doc. 102), which has been filed by Defendant
Wally Wazan. Plaintiff and Defendants Nakisha Garrett and Bianca Harris
consent to the relief requested. The position of Defendant Thompkins, who is
proceeding pro se, is not described in the Motion to Toll.
On May 24, 2021, a Joint Motion for Extension of Dispositive Motions
Deadline was filed by Plaintiff and Defendants Wazan, Garrett, and Harris
(the “Motion for Extension,” Doc. 100). By the Motion for Extension, those

parties request an extension of the June 3, 2021 motions deadline through and
including June 18, 2021. A hearing on the Motion for Extension is set for
Friday, June 4, 2021.
In the Motion to Toll, Defendant Wazan requests that the current
motions deadline be tolled to allow the parties an opportunity to be heard on
the Motion for Extension prior to expiration of the June 3, 2021 deadline. This
request will be granted, subject to possible further modification of the pretrial
deadlines following the June 4, 2021 hearing as may be necessary.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Consent Motion to Toll Motions
Deadline Pending Hearing (Doc. 102) is GRANTED, and the deadline to file
motions is EXTENDED through and including June 7, 2021.

Signed: June 1, 2021
