MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
A status conference was held in the above-referenced case on September 7, 2000 attended by counsel for the only parties remaining in the case: Aniero Concrete Company, Inc., General Accident Insurance Company of America, The Aetna Casualty and Surety Company and the New York City School Construction Authority. At the conference the parties voiced divergent views on the nature of the discovery, if any, that is necessary for resolution of the claims remaining in the case and the amount of time that it will take to complete that discovery. Counsel represented that they would reflect on those issues and report back to the Court.
To ensure that the case moves forward expeditiously, the Court directs that on or before September 25, 2000, each party report to the Court the nature of the discovery it requires and its best estimate of the amount of time it will take to complete discovery in this case. If the parties are in agreement on these matters, this report may take the form of a joint letter. If they disagree, they should furnish their respective views in an exchange of letters.
It is SO ORDERED.
