Opinion
Case No. 11-14584
12-12-2011
ORDER SETTING BRIEFING SCHEDULE
On December 6, 2011, the court conducted a scheduling conference with counsel for Plaintiffs and Defendant. Defendant's counsel indicated that he intended to file a dispositive motion on the pleadings in short order. Counsel for both parties agreed that the most efficient way to proceed was to refrain from issuing a scheduling order until adjudication of Defendant's motion. In the interim, the parties may, if they wish, engage in discovery that is not supervised or enforced by the court. As agreed at the conference, the court here sets the motion briefing schedule.
IT IS ORDERED that Defendant is DIRECTED to file its motion by January 6, 2012. Plaintiffs shall file a response in opposition to Defendant's motion, by January 23, 2012. Finally, any reply shall be filed by February 1, 2012.
