Opinion
Civil Action No. 05-cv-00873-WDM-BNB.
June 8, 2006
ORDER
This matter is before me on the parties' Joint Motion to Amend Scheduling Order [Doc. # 66, filed May 30, 2006] (the "Motion"). The Motion seeks an order extending the deadlines for dispositive motions and the final pretrial conference. I previously denied a similar motion. See Order [Doc. # 55, filed 3/7/06]. The current motion indicates, however, that at the conclusion of the claim construction hearing, the district judge "agreed to the dispositive motion deadline should be moved back to allow the Court ample time to rule on claim construction before the parties are required to file summary judgment motions." Motion, ¶ 4. On the strength of that representation:
IT IS ORDERED that the Motion is GRANTED. The dispositive motion deadline (June 9, 2006); deadline to submit a proposed pretrial order (July 31, 2006); and pretrial conference (August 7, 2006) are VACATED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall file a status report within ten days of any order by the district judge concerning claim construction, notifying me of the order and addressing what additional deadlines should be established.
