ORDER
This case is before the undersigned pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), the Rules of this Court,
and Standing Order 13-02.
The parties appeared telephonically before the Court on June 28, 2018, over a discovery
dispute. Attorneys Daniel Marino and Tillman Finley appeared on behalf of Plaintiff. Attorneys
Garrett Swartwood and Michael Maloney appeared on behalf of Defendants. During the discovery
conference, the parties reported that they have made progress on resolving several discovery
disputes, such as their agreement to reopen Defendant Eric Barton’s deposition and the Rule
30(b)(6) deposition on a limited basis. The Court acknowledges that the parties have participated
in good-faith discussions in an attempt to resolve the discovery issues. After hearing from the
parties, however, the Court finds that the best course of action is to allow the parties to engage in
motion practice with respect to the remaining discovery disputes. The Court encourages the parties
to continue their discussions regarding the discovery disputes and further finds that the parties may
postpone reopening the above depositions until the Court rules on the remaining discovery

disputes. Accordingly, the Court instructs Plaintiff to file his motion to compel on or before July
13, 2018. Defendants shall file their response brief within fourteen (14) days of Plaintiff’s motion.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
