This matter comes before the Court sua sponte. In April 2017, defendant the United
States of America moved for summary judgment. Dkt. # 39. In her response, plaintiff Deborah
Wright requested that the Court continue the United States’ motion for summary judgment until
July 14, 2017, to allow the parties time to complete discovery. Dkt. # 43. The United States
opposed this request on the grounds that plaintiff had not been diligent in her discovery efforts
thus far. Dkt. # 46.
On June 15, 2017, the parties stipulated to an extension of the discovery deadline until
July 28, 2017, for the limited purpose of conducting various depositions. Dkt. # 49. The Court
granted that motion on June 20, 2017. Dkt. # 50.
On July 27, 2017, plaintiff filed a supplemental response to the United States’ motion for
