ORDER

SHEILA K. OBERTO, District Judge.

By its order entered on December 2, 2016 (the "Order"), the Court directed Plaintiffs to respond to certain discovery requests propounded by Defendant Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc., denied a motion for terminating sanctions without prejudice as to Defendant Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc., denied a motion for terminating sanctions with prejudice as to the remaining Defendants—National Default Servicing Corporation, Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as successor (the "Remaining Defendants")—and ordered that the Court would hold a hearing regarding the status of this matter on December 21, 2016 (the "Hearing"). (Doc. 26.) Plaintiffs subsequently failed to appear at the Hearing.

During the Hearing, Defendants indicated that they would file an additional motion for terminating sanctions. As noted by the Court during the Hearing, Defendant Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc. must file a separate motion for terminating sanctions if it requests that the Court consider this sanction. Additionally, if the Remaining Defendants request that the Court again consider a terminating sanction, they must file both (1) an additional motion for terminating sanctions; and (2) a motion requesting that the Court reconsider its denial with prejudice of the previous motion for terminating sanctions filed by the Remaining Defendants. The Remaining Defendants may file these motions separately, or as part of a single motion filed by all Defendants.

The Court CAUTIONS the Remaining Defendants that it will only reconsider its prior denial of the motion for terminating sanctions with prejudice as to the Remaining Defendants if the Remaining Defendants provide sufficient on-point authority demonstrating that such reconsideration is warranted, i.e. terminating sanctions are appropriate under the circumstances of this case specifically as to the Remaining Defendants.

Further, as the Court stated during the Hearing, the Court DIRECTS Defendants to file their motions for terminating sanctions and reconsideration of the Court's prior Order by no later than January 3, 2017. The Court also ORDERS that Plaintiffs may file an opposition brief to these motions by January 17, 2017, and Defendants may file their reply brief in support of these motions by January 24, 2017. Once the briefing regarding these motions is complete, the Court shall set a hearing regarding these motions on an expedited basis.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
