Defendant.

-oOoThe court’s April 27, 2005, scheduling order provided that

a discovery dispute should be filed, briefed, heard, decided and

any order complied with by August 19, 2005.

July 28, 2005, and the motion is submitted.

August 1, 2005, plaintiff moved for leave to extend the

deadline. August 1 and 8, 2005, plaintiff moved to compel

discovery. Defendant opposed none of these motions.

July 18, 2005, plaintiff moved for leave to serve additional

interrogatories. August 1, 2005, plaintiff filed an identical

motion. The second motion renders the first moot. 

August 12, 2005, plaintiff moved for appointment of counsel. 

The court will not appoint counsel for the reasons explained in

the court’s January 11, 2005, order.

August 15, 2005, plaintiff moved for default for defendant’s

purported failure to oppose plaintiff’s June 22, 2005, motion to

compel. Defendant opposed and no sanction is justified.

Accordingly, the court hereby orders that:

1. Plaintiff’s July 18, 2005, motion for leave to serve

additional interrogatories is denied as moot.

2. Plaintiff’s August 1, 2005, motion to extend discovery

is granted. The discovery deadline as described in the April 27,

2005, scheduling order is extended to January 1, 2006. The

deadline for filing and serving motions is extended to March 1,

2006. The deadlines for filing and serving pretrial statements,

the previously-scheduled pretrial conference and trial are

vacated. 

3. Defendant may oppose plaintiff’s August 1, 2005, motion

for leave to serve additional interrogatories and plaintiff’s

August 1 and 8, 2005, motions to compel discovery within 20 days. 

Plaintiff may reply within 10 days thereafter.

4. Plaintiff’s August 12, 2005, motion for appointment of

counsel is denied.
