Opinion
CIVIL ACTION No. 04-2511-CM.
December 10, 2007
ORDER
In Doc. 880, the parties jointly requested stays and extensions of time for certain deadlines in this case. Magistrate Judge Rushfelt addressed these requests in his November 20, 2007 order and during a telephone conference held on November 27, 2007. He left one issue for the district court to determine: whether to toll the statute of limitations for the Rule 23 claims contained in plaintiffs' proposed Second Amended Complaint for the members of the classes defined therein until the earliest of defendants filing a response to plaintiffs' motion for leave to amend, the parties settling this case, or plaintiffs filing their second amended complaint. In light of recent developments and the parties' mediation scheduled for today, the court determines that tolling as proposed by the parties is appropriate. The parties' jointly-requested relief is granted.
