Plaintiff
v.
BFI WASTE SERVICES, LLC,
Defendant

No. 3:13-0079
Judge Nixon/Brown
Jury Demand

O R D E R
A telephone conference was held with the parties in this
matter on August 12, 2013. Plaintiff’s counsel advised that he
contemplated

taking

several

more

depositions

and

the

parties

believe that a little additional time should be provided to
complete discovery.
Accordingly, the deadlines set in Docket Entry 14 are
amended to provide that all discovery will close on November 1,
2013.
Dispositive

motions

will

be

due

November

18,

2013.

Responses shall be filed within 21 days after service. Briefs shall
not exceed 25 pages without leave of Court.

Optional replies,

limited to five pages, shall be filed within seven days after
service of the response.

If dispositive motions are filed early,

the response and reply dates are moved up accordingly.
The Magistrate Judge discussed with the parties the
possibility of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and they are
advised that the Magistrate Judge stands ready to assist with ADR
at any point. If the parties do request assistance with ADR they

should

do

so

as

soon

as

practicable

as

there

is

really

no

additional time the Magistrate Judge can allow for discovery or
dispositive motions without changing the trial date.
It is so ORDERED.
