SUPPLEMENTAL JOINT CASE MANAGEMENT STATEMENT AND PROPOSED ORDER 

3

 Following a productive settlement conference with Magistrate Judge Bernard 

Zimmerman on January 29, 2008, the parties to the above-captioned action submit this 

Supplemental Joint Case Management Statement to request that certain dates in the case 

be continued while settlement discussions continue. In particular, although counsel 

intend to appear for Plaintiffs’ Motion for Partial Judgment currently scheduled for 

January 31, 2008, the parties jointly seek to continue both that motion and Plaintiffs’ 

motion for class certification, currently set for hearing on February 21, 2008 to April 24, 

2008 in order to allow the parties first to exhaust settlement possibilities at a March 26, 

2008 settlement conference scheduled with Magistrate Judge Zimmerman. 

 The parties would like to retain the litigation schedule with respect to individual 

plaintiffs’ claims, with one exception: to extend the non-expert discovery deadline from 

March 17 to April 7, 2008. 

 We therefore supplement the Joint Case Management Statement filed October 4, 

2007, and seek to modify the Court’s Case Management Order filed October 11, 2007, as 

indicated below in bold typeface:
