Summary of this case from Adams v. Wenco Ashland, Inc.Opinion
CASE NO. 1:11-CV-00244.
November 8, 2011
MEMORANDUM OF OPINION AND ORDER
On 7 October 2011, Magistrate Judge Greg White issued a Report and Recommendation ("R R") as to Plaintiff's motion to conditionally certify a collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"). Plaintiff filed objections to this R R on 21 October 2011. On 26 October 2011, Defendant moved for leave to file a reply to Plaintiff's objections. Plaintiff opposed this motion on 2 November 2011.
A party must file its objections to an R R within 10 days of its issuance by the Magistrate Judge. Within 10 days of this filling, an opposing party must file its reply to these objections. In the present case, the Defendant's motion for leave to file a reply was timely as it was filed less than 10 days from when the Plaintiff objected to the R R. The Defendant's motion is therefore granted.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
