Nagi Aljahmi, Plaintiff, v. 1738 Finest Deli Inc., et al., Defendants.
ORDER
ROBYN F. TARNOFSKY, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On January 8, 2024, Plaintiff filed a letter motion to compel Defendant Abdullah Aljahmi to respond to Plaintiff's discovery requests and to extend the discovery deadline. (See ECF 58.)
On January 17, 2024, counsel for the Defendants informed the Court that he scheduled a meeting with Defendant Abdullah Aljahmi on January 19, 2024, to discuss Plaintiff's discovery demands. (See ECF 61.) On January 22, 2024, Plaintiff informed the Court he had not received Defendant's proposed plan to remedy the discovery defects by that deadline. (See ECF 64.) I held a conference with the parties on January 24, 2024.
For the reasons discussed at the conference, including the representation by Defendants' counsel that Defendant Abdullah Aljahmi has been ill, I am willing to grant a very limited extension of time to complete discovery.
It is ORDERED that: (1) Defendants shall respond to Plaintiff's document requests by February 2, 2024, and shall complete their document production by February 16, 2024; (2) Defendants shall serve their discovery requests to Plaintiff by January 26, 2024, and Plaintiff shall respond to Defendants' requests by February 16, 2024; and (3) that the deposition of Defendant Abdullah Aljahmi shall take place no later than February 29, 2024.
Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys' fees.
SO ORDERED.
