January 29, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 117 OPINION entered by U.S. Magistrate Judge Tom Schanzle-Haskins. Defendants' Fifth Motion for Extension of Time to Respond to Plaintiff's Discovery Requests 106 is DENIED as moot; and Plaintiff's Third Motion to Compel Discovery Respon ses and Response to Defendants' Fifth Motion for Extension of Time 108 and the matters reserved by the Court from Plaintiff's Second Motion to Compel Defendants to Participate in Discovery and to Enforce this Court's October 5, 2018 Order 102 are ALLOWED in part.

The Court further ALLOWS Plaintiff's requests for fees and expenses incurred in filing her Motions as stated above. The Court directs Plaintiff to file a statement of the fees and expenses incurred in filing her two Motions at issue by February 22, 2019. The Department Defendants are given until March 22, 2019, to respond to the statement of fees and expenses.The existing Revised Scheduling Order 92 in this case provides that fact discovery is t o be completed on or before March 1, 2019, and that the parties have until April 1, 2019 to complete expert discovery. Given the necessity to resolve the numerous discovery disputes between the parties, it appears to the Court that the existing scheduling deadlines are unrealistic and, probably, untenable. Consequently, the Court orders the parties to confer and present a revised discovery schedule to the Court on or before February 28, 2019. See written order. (LB, ilcd)
