MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
LEON, District Judge.
Plaintiff James Kellmer moves this Court for expedited discovery to enable him to make a record upon which to base a motion for preliminary injunction. There are two commonly recognized approaches to determining whether expedited discovery is appropriate: (1) the Notaro test; and (2) the reasonableness test. Because the Court finds that expedited discovery is inappropriate under either test, Plaintiff Kellmer’s Motion for Expedited Proceedings is DENIED.
