ORDER
DAVID C. KEESLER, Magistrate Judge.
THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE COURT on "Plaintiff's Motion To Commence Early Discovery" (Document No. 48) filed June 19, 2018. This motion has been referred to the undersigned Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), and is ripe for disposition. Having carefully considered the motion and the record, the undersigned will deny the motion.
As counsel for both sides have noted, the parties may engage in consensual discovery at any time; however, Court-enforceable discovery does not commence until issues have joined and a Scheduling Order has been entered. See Local Rule 16.1(f). The undersigned has carefully reviewed Plaintiff's request for early discovery, and noting that "Defendant's Motion For Judgment On The Pleadings" is pending before Judge Conrad, will respectfully decline to commence Court-enforceable discovery at this time.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that "Plaintiff's Motion To Commence Early Discovery" (Document No. 48) is DENIED.
