MEMORANDUM ORDER

Pending before the Court is Plaintiffs Motion for Reconsideration [ECF#107] wherein
he requests permission to depose Office James Cousins II.
The Court appreciates that Plaintiffs counsel came to this litigation "late in the game;" it
is for this reason, in the hopes of leveling the playing field, that the Court permitted a limited
reopening of discovery in its December 23, 2014 Memorandum Order. That said, the discovery
period in this case ended on November 1, 2013, dispositive motions have been filed and ruled
upon, and a trial date has been set. As such, we find that it would be unfair to Defendants to
permit the deposition of Defendant Cousins at this juncture in the proceedings.
Accordingly, this 20th day of February, 2015, it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED,
AND DECREED that Plaintiffs Motion for Reconsideration is DENIED.

Maurice B. Cohill, Jr.
Senior United States District Judge
