TASH HEPTING, et al,

Plaintiffs,

v

ORDER

moved to compel the return of certain allegedly confidential

motion. Doc ##41, 45. Plaintiffs seek to unseal these documents

and the accompanying preliminary injunction papers. Doc #33. 

Defendants contend that the documents and papers should remain

sealed. Doc #51.

The court GRANTS IN PART defendants’ motion for shortened

time and sets the following briefing schedule. Oral argument on

the above motions is specially set for May 17, 2006, at 10:00 AM. 

Plaintiffs’ opposition to defendants’ motion to compel is due on

May 1, 2006, and defendants’ reply is due on May 5, 2006.

Plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction is

specially set for hearing on June 21, 2006, at 10:00 AM. Because

plaintiffs were permitted additional pages to file their motion,

defendants may file an opposition brief of up to 35 pages by May

18, 2006. Plaintiffs may file their reply brief by May 25, 2006.

At the May 17 hearing, the parties may address case

management and scheduling issues regarding other motions in this

case. The court therefore vacates the initial case management

conference currently set for May 16, 2006.

Moreover, pursuant to a stipulation by the parties and

Civ L R 7-11, the court accepts the brief filed by amici curiae

Center for Constitutional Rights and the American Civil Liberties

Union. Doc ##73, 76, 77. Any response to this brief must be efiled by April 28, 2006.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
