UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
A.M., et al.,
Plaintiffs,
v.

Case No. 12-C-0943

MEQUON-THIENSVILLE SCHOOL
DISTRICT, et al.,
Defendants.
ORDER
On February 12, 2015, the plaintiffs filed a motion to compel discovery from the
defendants. Under the local rules of this court, the defendants’ responses to the motion
are due within 21 days, and then the plaintiffs will have 14 days to file a reply. See Civil
L.R. 7(b) & (c). This means that the motion may not be fully briefed until late March.
However, discovery closes on March 31, 2015, and I do not intend to allow any further
extensions of discovery. Therefore, I will strike the plaintiffs’ motion to compel and direct
them to re-file it under Local Rule 7(h), which provides for expedited treatment of a nondispositive motion. The plaintiffs should note that the motion may not exceed three pages,
that no separate memorandum may be filed, and that any affidavit filed with the motion
may not exceed two pages. The plaintiffs must re-file their motion to compel under Rule
7(h) no later than February 18, 2015.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the plaintiffs’ motion to compel is stricken and
that the plaintiffs may re-file the motion under Local Rule 7(h) no later than February 18,
2015.
Dated at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this 13th day of February, 2015.
