On September 15, 2016, Plaintiffs Eric Dublinski, Richard Erickson, Sean P. Forney, Jacob Grismer, Timothy Helmick, Henry M. Ledesma, Scott Praye, Gary H. Roberts, Troy Slack, Dennis Stuber, and Robert P.

On November 17, 2016, Swift filed a motion for partial reconsideration requesting that all documents be submitted for in camera review. Dkt. 203.
II. DISCUSSION
Motions for reconsideration are disfavored and will usually not be granted without allowing the opposing party an opportunity to respond. Local Rules, W.D. Wash. LCR 7(h)(1)-(2). In this case, the Court finds that a response is not required because granting the motion is in the interest of all parties. The Court has concluded that the pay analysis documents should be produced and, absent some extraordinary turn of events or discovery of some fact that the Court is currently unaware of, the Court will order production of the documents in due course. Thus, no party is prejudiced by Swift submitting the documents to the Court.
III. ORDER
Therefore, it is hereby ORDERED that Swift’s motion for reconsideration (Dkt. 203) is GRANTED . Swift shall submit the documents for review as soon as practicable.
Dated this 1st day of December, 2016.
