LAWRENCE GEORGE HASH, Plaintiff, v. FAGGIANELLI, et al., Defendants.
ORDER
ALLISON CLAIRE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Defendants have filed a second motion for an extension of time to file discovery motions and represent that the motion was initially requested by plaintiff. ECF No. 141 at 3. The extension is requested on the grounds that the parties require additional time to conclude discussions regarding outstanding discovery and to finish producing further responses that were agreed to during previous discussions. Id. In granting the previous motion for an extension of time, the parties were cautioned that further extensions to accommodate additional meet and confer efforts were unlikely. ECF No. 130 at 1. However, in light of the representation that defendants are unlikely to have served all of the additional responses they have agreed to produce by the current deadline, and to ensure the parties' efforts are not wasted, the request will be granted to afford plaintiff time to review the supplemental responses prior to the deadline for filing motions to compel.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that defendants' motion for an extension of time (ECF No. 141) is GRANTED. The parties shall have until October 18, 2023, to file any discovery motions related to any outstanding discovery disputes.
