DENNIS CAUCHON,
Plaintiff,

Case No. 2:25-cv-75
Judge Edmund A. Sargus, Jr.
Magistrate Judge Chelsey M. Vascura

v.
DWAYNE STEWARD, et al.,
Defendants.

ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Defendants’ Emergency Motion to Vacate Order
Requiring Expedited Discovery. (ECF No. 36.) On February 11, 2025, the Court ordered expedited
discovery in this matter relating to Plaintiff’s Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order and
Preliminary Injunction. (ECF No. 3.) The Court delayed the expedited discovery deadline until
March 13, 2025. (ECF Nos. 17, 24.) Plaintiff then filed an Amended Complaint and no longer
brings the state law claims underlying his Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order and
Preliminary Injunction. (ECF No. 31.) Accordingly, the Court denied that Motion as moot and
vacated a related evidentiary hearing. (ECF No. 34.)
Defendants now move to vacate the March 13, 2025 expedited discovery deadline. (ECF
No. 36.) Plaintiff did not consent to Defendants’ request to vacate the discovery deadline. (Id.
PageID 633.) Defendants request that discovery proceed normally under the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure, with Defendants’ responses due thirty days after the parties’ Rule 26(f) conference.
(Id.); see Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(d)(1).
For good cause shown, the Court GRANTS Defendants’ Motion to Vacate Order
Requiring Expedited Discovery. (ECF No. 36.) The Court VACATES the expedited discovery

deadline of March 13, 2025. (ECF Nos. 17, 24.) Discovery shall proceed in this matter in normal
course under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
This case remains open.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
