MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
As discussed at the June 3, 2004 motion hearing, the Court is dismayed by the number of motions for extensions filed in this case to date. As a result, the parties were directed to propose a schedule setting forth deadlines for resolving all remaining issues prior to the April 13, 2005 trial date. The Court advised the parties that these would be considered "drop-dead" deadlines and would not be extended for any reason. Both sides have now submitted proposed scheduling orders, which were discussed at the June 16, 2004 status conference. Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that the case shall proceed under the following deadlines:
1. June 30, 2004 Government's summary of expert Charles Peters' testimony.
