STIPULATION AND ORDER EXTENDING DEADLINE FOR SPECIFIED DISCOVERY AND INFORMAL DISCOVERY CONFERENCES

KENDALL J. NEWMAN, Magistrate Judge.

On November 15, 2018, Plaintiff United States of America served on Defendants John Donnelly Sweeney and Point Buckler Club, LLC ("Defendants") a second set of requests for production of documents and electronically stored information (collectively, "documents"). To date, Defendants have not produced documents in response to those requests (or a privilege log for any withheld documents or redacted information). The United States objects to such inaction. The parties have met and conferred about this dispute, and although the United States reserves its right to object to any untimely produced discovery, Defendants agree that they shall produce all responsive documents (and a privilege log for any withheld documents or redacted information) by January 7, 2018. This deadline falls after the close of discovery, December 20, 2018, and the parties may need the assistance of Judge Newman in resolving issues relating to Defendants' production of documents.

The parties understand that Judge Newman can be available for informal conferences after the close of discovery if the parties stipulate to it.

The United States and Defendants hereby stipulate that Judge Newman may, on or before January 18, 2019, conduct informal discovery conferences and resolve discovery disputes arising from Defendants' production of documents (and any associated privilege log) in response to the requests for production that the United States served on November 15, 2018. This stipulation is limited to this specific issue, and does not extend the discovery deadline for any other issue in this case.

ORDER

Good cause appearing, the stipulation above is approved and made an order of this Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
