ENDORSED ORDER. Before the Court is #16 Plaintiffs' Motion for Expedited Discovery and to Preserve Evidence. Although Defendants have not yet appeared in this case, the Local Rule 3.01(g) certification states that Plaintiffs conferred with counsel for Defendants and that Defendants oppose the motion. Also, the certificate of service shows that the motion was served on defense counsel. Given this, the Court assumes that Defendants have been served with process and will be appearing to contest the motion. Thus, Plaintiffs must file a proof of service of process by 12/1/23. See Local Rule 1.10(a). The Court will consider the motion after the response time has run. See Local Rule 3.01(c). Signed by Magistrate Judge Kyle C. Dudek on 11/27/2023. (BLW)
