STIPULATION AND ORDER SETTING BRIEFING SCHEDULE ON CROSS-MOTIONS REGARDING DISCOVERY

THOMAS S. ZILLY, District Judge.

The parties have a dispute regarding the scope of discovery. After conferring, plaintiff intends to file a motion to compel and defendant intends to file a cross motion for a protective order. Pursuant to LCR 7(k), the parties hereby stipulate by and between the undersigned, subject to the approval of the Court, that the following schedule shall govern their cross motions:

1. Defendant shall provide plaintiff a copy of any declarations to be used in defendant's motion for protective order on or before March 17, 2017;

2. Both plaintiff's motion to compel and defendant's motion for protective order shall be filed and served on or before March 30, 2017;

3. Both responses to the cross motions shall be filed and served on or before April 21, 2017.

Both parties are requesting and stipulating to extra time between the filing of the motions and the filing of the responses due to the fact that attorneys for both parties have preplanned trips and will be out of the office at different times during the first two weeks in April. To accommodate the schedule of both parties the parties are stipulating to and requesting the additional time for the responses.

PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS ORDERED:

The following briefing schedule shall apply to the parties' cross-motions to compel and for protective order;

1. Defendant shall provide Plaintiff a copy of any declarations to be used in defendant's motion for protective order on or before March 17, 2017;

2. Both plaintiff's motion to compel and defendant's motion for protective order shall be filed and served on or before March 30, 2017, and noted for April 21, 2017; and

3. Both responses to the cross-motions shall be filed and served on or before April 21, 2017. No reply shall be filed unless requested by the Court.
