ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’
MOTION TO MODIFY PRETRIAL
ORDER AND CASE MANAGEMENT
PLAN

The Defendants’ Motion to Modify the Pretrial Order and Case Management Plan (Doc. 8)
seeks an Order extending the discovery period to allow the deposition of Plaintiff Zinnia Lambert
to take place. The Motion is supported by email communication from Plaintiff’s counsel Kofi
Bentsi-Enchill stating he is unable, due to severe illness dating back to April of this year, to
accommodate defense counsel’s request to depose Lambert during the discovery period set forth
in the Court’s Pretrial Order and Case Management Plan. (Doc. 6).
FOR GOOD CAUSE SHOWN, the Defendants’ Motion is GRANTED, and the Pretrial
Order and Case Management Plan is hereby modified for the limited purpose of affording
Defendants an additional period of time, through and including February 28, 2022, to depose
Plaintiff Zinnia Lambert.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff’s counsel, Mr. Bentsi-Enchill, is hereby
directed to associate additional counsel within thirty days to allow this litigation to proceed during
his illness.
Signed: January 10, 2022
