THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE COURT on Plaintiff’s “Consent Motion To Issue
Pre-Discovery Subpoenas” (Document No. 23) filed March 26, 2021. This motion has been

The parties are welcome, and encouraged, to conduct consensual early discovery. The
undersigned expresses no opinion at this time as to the Court’s consideration of potential
objections or motions practice related to the proposed discovery.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that Plaintiff’s “Consent Motion To Issue PreDiscovery Subpoenas” (Document No. 23) is GRANTED.
