THIS CAUSE comes before the Court upon Plaintiffs' Emergency M otion to Compel Dates for Depositions and Responses or Better Responses to Plaintiffs' Interrogatories and Document Requests (DE 59) and xpedited M otion for an Order/commission to Take Depositions at the American Consulate General Osaka, Japan (DE 61), both filed April 5, 2013. After reviewing the Motions, it appears necessary to require Defendants to respond on an expedited basis, and show cause why the Court should not impose sanctions for their allegedly dilatory conduct. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Defendants shall, by 5:00 p-m. on Thursday, April 11, 2013, respond to the instant Motions and show cause why sanctions should not be imposed. Further, the Court reminds the Parties that attorneys are expected to conduct themselves in a cooperative and collegial manner. The Court expects them to work together to make sure that depositions are conducted and discovery is not delayed due to insufticient or incomplete discovery responses. lf the Parties cannot resolve their disagreements andjudicial intervention is
necessaly, sanctions may be imposed if l find the intervention to be attributable to dilatory conduct.
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at W estpalm Beach, Florida, this 8th dayofApril,
