Plaintiff has noticed a motion for hearing on December 5,

2005, in which Plaintiff seeks leave to conduct discovery. However,

the Rule 16 scheduling order (“Scheduling Order”), filed on June 7,

2005, prescribes that “[t]he last hearing date for motions seeking

leave to conduct additional discovery [was] November 7, 2005, at 9:00

a.m.” (Scheduling Order at 2.) Since Plaintiff’s motion is untimely,

it is denied. See Johnson v. Mammoth Recreations, Inc., 975 F.2d 604,
