ORDER
ELIZABETH D. LAPORTE, Chief Magistrate Judge.
Pending before the Court are (1) Defendants' Motion to Continue Class Certification Briefing Schedule (Dkt. 138); and (2) Plaintiffs' Motion for Shortened Schedule (Dkt. 142).
For good cause shown, the Court GRANTS Defendants' motion and sets the following schedule:
Plaintiffs' Motion for Class No later than October 22, 2013
Certification
Defendants' Opposition to Motion for No later than November 19, 2013
Class Certification
Plaintiffs' Reply No later than December 10, 2013
Hearing on Motion to Certify Class January 7, 2014
In the Motion for Shortened Schedule, Plaintiffs seek an expedited briefing schedule and decision on their motion to compel. Plaintiffs argue that the motion to compel should be decided quickly so that if the Court grants the motion, Plaintiffs can receive Defendants' discovery responses at a meaningful time prior to the August 20, 2013, deadline to file for class certification.
Because the Court has continued the class certification deadlines, Plaintiffs' concern about timing is moot. The Court therefore DENIES Plaintiffs' Motion for Shortened Time. The matter will be briefed according to Local Rule 7-3, and the motion to compel will be heard on July 23, 2013. Should the Court grant the motion to compel, Plaintiffs will have ample time to receive Defendants' discovery responses before the October 22, 2013 deadline to file for class certification.
