| 06/07/2022 | 37 | ORDER: The Tennessee Attorney General’s Office shall complete production of all written discovery responsive to all outstanding discovery requests by June 21, 2022. Because the parties have a large number of fact and expert witness depositions to be taken before August 10, 2022, for which they must prepare, the Court does not anticipate extending this deadline. All other deadlines remain as set by the Court’s prior orders (Doc. Nos. 22 , 23 , 33 ). Signed by Magistrate Judge Alistair Newbern on 6/7/2022.

| 06/22/2022 | 38 | MOTION for Extension of Time to Amend , MOTION for Extension of Time to Complete Discovery by Bill Lee. (Bergmeyer, Stephanie) (Entered: 06/22/2022) |
| 06/27/2022 | 39 | ORDER: Defendants filed a motion to extend the deadline for production of discovery set by the Court’s prior order by one day. (Doc. No. 38 .) The motion was filed on June 22, 2022, and requested an extension until June 22, 2022. The motion does not represent that Defendants’ counsel conferred with Plaintiff’s counsel regarding their position on the motion, as required by this Court’s Local Rule 7.01(a)(1). Because the date of the requested extension has passed and, the Court assumes, the production has been made, the motion is likely now largely moot. Should Plaintiff have any response to the motion, it shall be filed by June 30, 2022. Counsel are advised to ensure that all future motions comply with the Local Rules.
