TEXT ORDER granting the 56 motion to allow the parties to conduct the limited discovery described within the motion on or before May 19, 2023. This order does not affect any other deadlines set out in the 33 scheduling order. Signed by Judge Annemarie Carney Axon on 4/28/2023. (KSS) (Entered: 04/28/2023)

Judge Annemarie Carney Axon granted a motion on April 28, 2023, allowing the parties to conduct limited discovery by May 19, 2023. The order specifically permits discovery as outlined in the motion but leaves all other deadlines from the existing scheduling order intact.

This limited discovery window suggests the court sees a need for targeted fact-finding before moving forward with the case. The order does not expand the overall timeline or affect other procedural dates, indicating a narrow scope for this phase of discovery. The case remains active, with no public docket number or court identified.

The next key step will likely involve the parties exchanging information within the permitted discovery period. Judge Axon's decision to grant limited discovery without altering other deadlines reflects a controlled approach to managing the case's progress.

The parties must complete this discovery by the May 19 deadline to avoid delays or disputes over timing. The court's order signals that discovery is a live issue but confined to specific topics or documents described in the motion. The case's future trajectory will depend on what emerges from this discovery and any subsequent motions or hearings that follow.
