ORDER
GABRIEL W. GORENSTEIN, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
In April, the Court denied the defendants' request for a stay of discovery. See Order, dated Apr. 18, 2022 (Docket # 92). The Government then sought from Judge Gardephe permission to move for summary judgment on a “pre-discovery” basis. See Letter from Tara Schwartz, dated May 18, 2022 (Docket # 94). Judge Gardephe granted that request. See Memorandum Endorsement, dated May 23, 2022 (Docket # 95). Accordingly, to be consistent with Judge Gardephe's Order, discovery is stayed pending Judge Gardephe's decision on defendants' planned motion for summary judgment. The parties are reminded that the motion is returnable before Judge Gardephe and shall comply with his Individual Practices.
SO ORDERED.
