Docs. 98, 102. Thereafter, a case management and initial scheduling order was entered on June 5, 2012, doc. 100, and the discovery period was extended several times to provide sufficient opportunity to complete discovery.

This case should now be referred to Senior District Judge William Stafford to schedule the trial of this matter.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that this case be referred to District Judge Stafford to schedule the trial of this case.
