Pursuant to court order, a Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Conference was held in chambers on May 27, 2008. Lawrence A. Bohm appeared as counsel for plaintiff; Richard R. Gray appeared as counsel for defendants.

1. No later than twenty (20) days from the date of this order, the plaintiff SHALL file all evidence he possesses on the issue of whether federal jurisdiction is proper.
2. No later than twenty (20) days thereafter, the defendants SHALL file a response.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
