ORDER

On September 4, 2019, the Court conducted a hearing on Defendant’s
Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 21). Counsel for Defendants appeared,
but counsel for Plaintiff did not.
At the conclusion of the hearing, the Court directed Defendant to
provide, in a supplemental brief of no longer than five (5) pages, additional
authorities indicating how other jurisdictions have addressed statutes of
limitation issues in the context of “lemon laws” that do not themselves contain
statutes of limitation.
Defendants’ supplemental brief was filed on September 11, 2019 (Doc.
30).
On October 17, 2019, the undersigned conducted a telephonic status
conference with counsel for both parties, during which counsel for Plaintiff

requested an opportunity to submit a response to Defendant’s supplemental
brief. Defendant does not object, and the Court will allow Plaintiff’s request.
Accordingly, Plaintiff is GIVEN LEAVE to submit a response to
Defendant’s supplemental brief. The response shall be no longer than five (5)
pages in length and shall be filed no later than fourteen (14) days from the date
of this Order.
