The Court also has reviewed Plaintiff`s December 29, 2020, letter in opposition. Although the parties have already submitted letter memoranda addressing the law on these requests, the Court will allow Defendant to file, by January 11, 2021, a supplemental brief of not more than ten double-spaced pages explaining the good cause for the stay application and amendment of the Discovery Confidentiality Order. Plaintiff may respond by January 22, 2021 with a similar maximum page limit. Defendant may file a reply by January 29, 2021, not to exceed four double-spaced pages.

Accordingly, by February 17, 2021, the parties shall submit a JOINT submission, limited to ten (10) double-spaced pages per side, presenting their respective positions on the issue of the stay. Counsel are forewarned that the page-limits will be strictly enforced. Thereafter, neither party shall file any additional submissions on this issue. So Ordered by Magistrate Judge Michael A.
