SAFECO INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA, Plaintiff(s), v. AIR VENT, INC., et al., Defendant(s).
ORDER
[DOCKET NO. 125]
Nancy J. Koppe, United States Magistrate Judge
Pending before the Court is the motion to reopen discovery filed by Third-Party Defendant Powermax. Docket No. 125. Powermax's reply clarifies that it seeks discovery from Plaintiff during this reopened discovery period. Docket No. 132. Plaintiff opposes this request. Docket No. 128 at 5. The Court hereby SETS this dispute for a hearing at 10:00 a.m. on April 24, 2023, in Courtroom 3C.
The Court is separately granting the request to reopen discovery more generally. In its response, Plaintiff asks for an order bifurcating trial. Docket No. 128 at 3-5. A responsive brief is not a proper vehicle to seek relief. See Local Rule IC 2-2(b). This request is denied without prejudice to renewing it by filing a proper motion.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
