ORDER

BOYD BOLAND, Magistrate Judge

This matter is before me on the parties' Stipulated Motion to Amend Scheduling Order [Doc. # 68, filed 4/12/2007] (the "Motion"). The Motion requests that I modify the pretrial schedule, but in manner that presumes that the EEOC's Motion for Bifurcation [Doc. # 47, filed 3/5/2007] will be granted. The district judge has reserved to himself for ruling and has not referred to me for determination the Motion to Bifurcate. The revised proposed schedule extends the pretrial proceedings for an indefinite period of time, and certainly far beyond the existing deadlines mandated by the district judge in his General Case Management Order and Order of Reference to United States Magistrate Judge. Obviously, I cannot adopt a schedule to accommodate a bifurcated case until and unless the district judge grants the Motion to Bifurcate.

IT IS ORDERED that the Motion is DENIED as premature.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties may submit a renewed motion if the district judge grants the Motion to Bifurcate.
