(“Defendant”) Ex Parte Motion for Limited Extension of the January 30, 2015, Discovery Cut-off 

Deadline. (ECF No. 25) Defendant requests that this Court extend the cut off in order to allow 

Magistrate Judge Dale Drozd the opportunity to hear and rule on Defendant’s concurrently filed 

motion to compel Plaintiffs’ depositions (ECF No. 23), and to allow Defendant the opportunity to 

take the depositions of Plaintiffs Amy Fraser and Paula Haug should the Court grant Defendant’s 

motion to compel. Plaintiffs have filed an opposition to Defendant’s request. (ECF No. 26.) 

The Court has considered the briefing filed by both parties and finds that good cause 

exists to allow Magistrate Judge Drozd the opportunity to decide Defendant’s motion to compel.

decide this matter. In the event that Judge Drozed denies Defendant’s motion, the Discovery Cutoff Deadline will run at the time his decision is rendered. Should Judge Drozd decide to grant
