Given the complexity of these issues and in the interests of the clarity of the Court record, the Court denies Plaintiff's Motion for Pre-Discovery Conditional Certification without prejudice. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff's Notice of Filing Overlength Brief (ECF No. #32 ) is DENIED as moot. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendants' Motion for Leave to File a Sur-Reply to Plaintiff's Pre-Discovery Conditional Certification Motion (ECF No. #34 ) is DENIED as moot.
