The parties shall comply with all the pre-trial procedures set forth in the Case Management and Scheduling Orders (Dkts. 22, 41.)
As to the Government's Motion to Strike (Dkt. 96), both parties agree that it is premature at this time. Accordingly, the Motion (Dkt. 96) is DENIED without prejudice. The Government may renew its motion, if appropriate under the circumstances, after trial.
