IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO
EASTERN DIVISION

SISTER MICHAEL MARIE, et al.,
Plaintiffs,
vs.

Civil Action 2:11-CV-474
Judge Watson
Magistrate Judge King

AMERICAN RED CROSS, et al.,
Defendants.

ORDER
This matter is before the Court on defendant American Red Cross’
Consent Motion to Extend Time to Complete Depositions, Doc. No. 64,
which seeks a 45 day extension to the discovery and summary judgment
deadlines.

According to defendant American Red Cross, the parties

have experienced difficulty coordinating their schedules to complete
plaintiff’s depositions within the allotted time.

Id. at p. 2.

Also

before the Court is the Amended Motion of Plaintiffs for an Order to
Compel, Doc. No. 66, which is ripe for consideration.

Plaintiffs’

initial motion to compel, Doc. No. 65, was filed on the same day as
the Consent Motion to Extend Time to Complete Depositions.
The Consent Motion to Extend Time to Complete Depositions, Doc.
No. 64, is GRANTED.

The Preliminary Pretrial Order, Doc. No. 26, is

MODIFIED as follows:
All discovery must be completed by December 14, 2012.
Motions for summary judgment must be filed, if at all, no later
than January 13, 2013.

1

Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel, Doc. No. 65, and Amended Motion of
Plaintiffs for an Order to Compel, Doc. No. 66, are DENIED as moot.
The parties are ADVISED that there will be no further extension
of the discovery deadline or the summary judgment deadline.
The Clerk is DIRECTED to remove Doc. Nos. 64, 65 and 66 from the
Court’s pending motions list.1
