WHEREAS, on July 22, 2024, Plaintiff Civil Rights Departments (“Plaintiff” and “CRD”) filed a 

MOTION to COMPEL COMPLIANCE WITH DISCOVERY ORDER AND OTHER RELIEF AS 

APPROPRIATE (“Motion”) in connection with an unresolved discovery dispute (ECF No. 85); and 

WHEREAS, that Motion was set for hearing for August 28, 2024 (ECF No. 86); and 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff and Defendant Grimmway Enterprises, Inc., d.b.a. Grimmway Farms 

(“Grimmway”), (collectively “the Parties”) have met and conferred and filed a proposed stipulation 

(“Stipulation”) that, if approved, will eliminate the need for motion practice on this issue (ECF No. 91); 

and 

WHEREAS, because the Stipulation includes a proposed change to the existing Scheduling 

Order, it will be reviewed by District Court Judge Drozd; 

THEREFORE, in order to preserve Magistrate Judge Claire’s jurisdiction over the Motion 

pending the District Court’s approval of the Stipulation, the Parties jointly request that the August 28, 

2024 hearing date for CRD’s MOTION to COMPEL COMPLIANCE WITH DISCOVERY ORDER 

AND OTHER RELIEF AS APPROPRIATE be vacated and reset for September 25, 2024, or other 

future date as the Court deems appropriate to the circumstances.1

 The Parties’ Joint Statement on the Motion is due August 14, 2024, but the matter will be resolved if the District Court 

approves the Stipulation so there is no need for the Parties to file a Joint Statement at this time; however, it would be 

premature for CRD to withdraw its Motion altogether before the Stipulation is approved.
