ORDER

Currently before the Court is Defendant’s Motion to Reconsider the Court’s Order

(Doc. 23) permitting Plaintiff’s to conduct expedited discovery, including several depositions

prior to the December 17, 2007 Scheduling Conference.1

CMK Engineering does not object to Plaintiffs serving it with a document request or

interrogatories prior to the December 17, 2007 Scheduling Conference. It contends that any

and all relevant information can be obtained through these methods without the expense and

potential business damage that may potentially be caused by deposing CMK’s clients, none

of whom has information related to whether any money or how much is owed by CMK to

Plaintiffs. CMK asserts that proceeding in this manner is reasonable, economical, and will

protect any genuine interest or need Plaintiffs may have. This Court agrees. The issues

surrounding these depositions should be discussed at the December 17, 2007 Scheduling
