Davis · United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division · December 15, 2025 · No. 1:24-cv-01918-JRS-MJD

Summary

This is a court order ruling on a plaintiff's motion for leave to conduct additional discovery and to stay proceedings in response to a summary judgment motion. The court denies the request for additional discovery but grants a brief stay, extending the plaintiff's response deadline.

Holdings

  1. Plaintiff was not entitled to conduct the requested belated additional discovery because she had not demonstrated good cause for failing to conduct it before the discovery deadline.
  2. The court granted Plaintiff's request for additional time and extended her deadline to respond to Defendants' motion for summary judgment from December 15, 2025, to December 22, 2025.

Questions Presented

  1. Whether Plaintiff was entitled under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(d) to conduct additional discovery after the liability-discovery deadline.
  2. Whether the proceedings should be stayed or Plaintiff's deadline to respond to Defendants' dispositive motion should be extended while the court considered the motion.
