Text Order (October 24, 2017)  [Docket Text Only]

ORDER re 93 Letter — The parties have no obligation to brief discovery disputes while the stay is in effect. However, the parties are free to take into account the fact that the pendency stay only heightens the need to make swift progress to complete the exchange of information to which the parties are entitled in the limited time available when and if the discovery process resumes. Accordingly, to promote that necessary efficiency, any party anticipating the need for discovery relief is free to file a letter motion for such relief as it deems appropriate at any time while the stay is in effect. The opposing party may, but need not, file its opposition within two business days; should it elect not to do so, its opposition will be due no later than 48 hours after the issuance of any order lifting the stay. Ordered by Magistrate Judge James Orenstein on 10/24/2017. (Salvador, Anjali) (Entered: 10/24/2017)
