ORDER

THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE COURT on “Defendant’s Motion To Compel
Discovery Responses And Initial Disclosures From Plaintiff” (Document No. 13) filed May 11,
2017. This motion has been referred to the undersigned Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
636(b), and is ripe for disposition. Having carefully considered the motion and the record, and
noting Plaintiff’s consent, the undersigned will grant the motion.
By the pending motion, Defendant seeks “an Order compelling Plaintiff to fully and
completely respond to Defendant’s First Set of Interrogatories and Request for Production of
Documents and requiring Plaintiff to serve Rule 26 Disclosures.” (Document No. 13, p.1).
“Plaintiff’s Response to Defendant’s Motion to Compel Discovery Responses” (Document No.
14) was filed on May 25, 2017. “Plaintiff’s Response…” indicates that she consents to the relief
requested in the pending motion to compel, but needs additional time to provide full discovery
responses. (Document No. 14).
The undersigned will grant Defendant’s motion and allow Plaintiff additional time.
However, further extensions of time for Plaintiff to complete her responses will not be allowed.

Plaintiff is respectfully advised that incomplete responses and/or other action (or inaction) which
causes further delay in this case will likely lead to sanctions.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that “Defendant’s Motion To Compel Discovery
Responses And Initial Disclosures From Plaintiff” (Document No. 13) is GRANTED. Plaintiff
shall fully and completely respond to Defendant’s First Set of Interrogatories and Request for
Production of Documents and serve Rule 26 Disclosures on or before June 23, 2017.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that for the purpose of completing any necessary
depositions, the discovery deadline is extended to July 14, 2017, and the deadline to file a
mediation report is extended to July 21, 2017. The parties should promptly schedule their
depositions and mediation, if they have not already done so.
SO ORDERED.
Signed: May 26, 2017
