Opinion
Civil Action No. 11-cv-02428-AP.
November 1, 2011
ORDER
This matter is currently before me on Plaintiffs' Motion to Reconsider the assignment of this case to the court's AP docket. In support of this motion, Plaintiffs state that they intend to file an amended complaint adding numerous non-administrative claims against Defendants.
Plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration is premature and unnecessary. Assignment to the AP docket does not foreclose filing of an amended complaint. Nor does it limit Plaintiffs' ability to seek the relief they seek. It is intended to insure the proper and expeditious treatment of administrative claims — no more, no less. If Plaintiffs file an amended complaint, the assignment of this case will be revisited, and it will be reassigned as warranted.
In the meantime, the parties shall proceed as ordered. Namely, they shall file their Joint Case Management Plan no later than November 24, 2011. Plaintiffs may include the fact that they intend to file, or already have filed, an amended complaint containing numerous non-administrative claims in the Joint Case Management Plan.
