Roxanne Hancock, on behalf of herself and all others similarly situated Plaintiff, v. HF HOLDINGS, INC., et al., Defendants.
ORDER
Vernon S. Broderick, United States District Judge
I am in receipt of Plaintiff s letter, dated May 6, 2021, requesting expedited discovery pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(d). (Doc. 12.)
“Courts in this district have applied a flexible standard of reasonableness and good cause in determining whether to grant a party's expedited discovery request.” Digital Sin, Inc. v. Does 1-176, 279 F.R.D. 239, 241 (S.D.N.Y. 2012) (internal quotation marks omitted) (collecting cases). Plaintiff has offered no justification for why expedited discovery is warranted other than that this case was brought as a class action. (See Doc. 12.) Plaintiff is directed to file a letter detailing why good cause exists for her request, especially in light of the fact that Plaintiff has already obtained a certificate of default. Accordingly, it is hereby:
ORDERED that by May 14, 2021, Plaintiff submit a letter, no longer than three pages, explaining the grounds for her expedited discovery request.
SO ORDERED.
