April 19, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 76 PAPERLESS ORDER granting in part and denying in part #74 Defendants' Motion for Extension of Time to Respond to Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment and Statement of Undisputed Material Facts. Defendants are seeking a two-week extension, which would result in a response deadline of May 10, 2023, and a reply deadline of May 17, 2023. The Joint Pretrial Stipulation is due on May 26, 2023, the Calendar Call is scheduled for June 14, 2023, and the special set jury trial is scheduled to commence on June 26, 2023. The Court will not extend the response deadline as requested given the deadlines in this case (which were set back in October 2022), the Court's current workload, and the possible need for a hearing on the motion for summary judgment. Simply put, no good cause has been shown for such a lengthy extension. According to Defendants' Motion, Plaintiff does not oppose a 3-day extension, and the Court does find that there is good cause to extend the deadline by three days. Therefore, Defendants shall file their response to Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment and Statement of Undisputed Material Facts on or before May 1, 2023.

April 12, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 60 PAPERLESS ORDER EXPEDITING BRIEFING ON MOTIONS: The Court has carefully reviewed Plaintiff's four Motions to Compel [DEs 56-59]. In light of the April 12, 2023 dispositive motion deadline and the June trial date in this case, the Court finds it necessary to expedite briefing on the four discovery motions. Defendants shall file responses to the motions on or before NOON on April 14, 2022 and Plaintiff shall file replies on or before 5 p.m. on April 17, 2023. The Court will then promptly rule on the papers. The parties are advised that this briefing schedule shall not be extended absent the most compelling and extraordinary circumstances. Further, the trial date in this case which has been specially set for June 26, 2023, and the dispositive motion deadline of today shall NOT be continued despite this dispute which has erupted at this late date. The Court also advises Defendants that it would reject the argument that, since the discovery deadline has passed, Defendants have no obligation to provide amended responses or documents. The Court intends to promptly rule on these last-minute discovery disputes, and the Court directs the parties' counsel to forthwith attempt in good faith to resolve them, or the Court will. The Court shall also seriously consider the imposition of sanctions or cost-shifting against any party or counsel who fails to comply with all discovery obligations, fails to comply with applicable rules and orders, or who takes a frivolous, dilatory, or unreasonable discovery position.
