`ORDER RE END-PAYOR
`PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION TO
`MODIFY STIPULATED ORDER
`OF DISCOVERY (ECF NO. 664)
`
`
`Before the Court is End-Payor Plaintiffs’ motion to modify the Stipulated
`
`Order of Discovery of December 23, 2013 (ECF No. 664) (“Discovery Stay”) as
`
`modified by the Court’s order of June 25, 2014 (ECF No. 750). The United States
`
`Department of Justice does not object to the modification.
`
`Upon consideration of the parties’ arguments the motion is GRANTED as
`
`follows.
`
`The Discovery Stay is modified so that the Plaintiffs may serve on those
`
`defendants who have pled guilty or agreed to plead guilty an interrogatory seeking
`
`the makes, model names, model numbers, model platforms and model years of
`
`those motor vehicles for which parts were involved in the conduct described in
`
`their guilty pleas. This Order applies in all cases that are part of MDL 2311 where
`
`
`
`Case 2:12-md-02311-SFC-RSW ECF No. 835, PageID.11284 Filed 10/08/14 Page 2 of 2
`
`discovery is underway. The remaining provisions of the Discovery Stay remain in
`
`effect, and all Defendants retain whatever rights they may have to object to the
`
`requested discovery in their particular cases.
`
`Any party may appeal this Order to the Hon. Marianne O. Battani in
`
`accordance with the provisions of the Court’s Order Appointing A Master dated
`
`August 29, 2014 (ECF No. 792).
`
`IT IS SO ORDERED.
