HONORABLE NANCY G. EDMUNDS

MAGISTRATE JUDGE MARK A. RANDON

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO NOT FILE EXPERT INITIAL

WITNESS LIST (DKT. NO. 27); DENYING WITHOUT PREJUDICE

PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO REQUEST DOCUMENTATION FROM THE

DEFENDANTS (DKT. NO. 28); AND DENYING WITHOUT PREJUDICE PLAINTIFF'S

MOTION TO EXTEND TIME (DKT. NO. 29)

This matter is before the Court on three motions: (1) Plaintiff's Motion to Not File Expert Initial Witness List (Dkt. No. 27); (2) Plaintiff's Motion to Request Documentation from the Defendants (Dkt. No. 28); and (3) Plaintiff's Motion to Extend Time in Respect to Denial to Seal Initial Witness List (Dkt. No. 29). Having reviewed these motions, the Court finds as follows:

1. Plaintiff does not want to file his expert witness list "[d]ue to new information presented." The Court finds this is not a valid reason for not filing his expert witness list, and DENIES Plaintiff's motion (Dkt. No. 27). If Plaintiff has any experts, he must file his expert witness list by December 14, 2012.
2. Plaintiff's motion for documentation (Dkt. No. 28) is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Plaintiff may request the information he seeks in his motion from Defendants through a Request for Production of Documents. If Defendants fail to respond, Plaintiff may file a motion to compel with the Court.
3. Plaintiff's motion to extend time asks the Court to extend discovery 30 days. This motion is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE (Dkt. No. 29). Discovery is currently scheduled to close on January 30, 2013. As this date approaches, if Plaintiff needs additional time for discovery, he may file another motion with the
Court that specifically identifies the additional discovery he needs, and/or the discovery he is not had an opportunity to review.

IT IS ORDERED.
