request for reasonable expenses incurred from opposing plaintiff’s motion to compel in the

pretrial motions deadline is granted. The deadline for filing pretrial motions will be reset, if 

appropriate, following resolution of defendants’ request for reasonable expenses. 

Under Local Rule 230(l), defendants have fourteen days from December 19, 2023, in which
