ORDER
The above-entitled action was removed to this court on February 19, 2010. On May 6, 2010, plaintiff filed a first amended complaint. On June 2, 2010, defendants Teamsters Union Local No. 70, Dominic Chiovare, Joe Silva, David Rosenfeld, and Weinberg, Roger Rosenfeld ("Union defendants") filed a motion to dismiss, noticed for hearing on July 14, 2010. Also on June 2, 2010, defendants Allied Waste Systems of Alameda County, Ray Atkinson, and Fred Penning ("AWS defendants") filed a motion to dismiss, noticed for hearing on July 7, 2010.
On June 11, 2010, plaintiff filed a motion to disqualify the undersigned judge, who referred it on June 15, 2010 for assignment to another district judge for decision. In the same order, the undersigned vacated the hearing dates set for the motions to dismiss, and suspended the briefing pending the ruling on the motion to disqualify. On June 16, 2010, the motion to disqualify was referred to the Hon. William H. Alsup, who denied it on June 23, 2010. Meanwhile, notwithstanding the order suspending the briefing, on June 22, 2010, plaintiff filed an opposition to the motion to dismiss filed by the AWS defendants. The parties are now directed to adhere to the following briefing schedule. Plaintiff's opposition to the motion to dismiss filed by the Union defendants shall be filed and served no later than July 7, 2010. Both the AWS defendants and the Union defendants shall file and serve their replies to plaintiff's oppositions no later than July 14, 2010. The court will decide the motions on the papers. No hearing will be held.
