ORDER
This matter is before me on the parties' Joint Status Report [Doc. # 100, filed 7/31/2006]. The parties request that I extend the stay of discovery through October 15, 2006, to allow the criminal investigations against the individual defendants to proceed and the related negotiations between the government and the individual defendants to be concluded. Good cause having been shown:
IT IS ORDERED that the stay of discovery is extended to and including October 15, 2006.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if the stay has not been lifted, on or before October 15, 2006, the parties shall file a joint status report addressing the status of the criminal investigations and the appropriateness of setting deadlines in this case.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that an individual defendant shall file a status report within 10 days of being notified of any of the following: (a) that he is no longer the target of a criminal investigation; (b) that he has been granted immunity; (c) that a disposition has been reached concerning all charges against the defendant; or (d) that the grand jury has returned a no true bill against the defendant.
