1 The Pretrial Order filed July 2, 2004, contains a section

concerning “further discovery or motions,” but it does not appear

to prescribe a law and motion deadline.

On December 16, 2005, Defendants filed a “Motion to Modify

Case Scheduling Order . . .” so that Defendants can “be given 30 days

within which to file a dispositive motion.” (Mot. at 2.) Defendants

argue that “good cause” exists for the requested modification. The

record indicates that the “good cause” standard does not apply to

Defendants’ request. The Rule 16 Scheduling Order containing a law

and motion deadline was vacated by Order filed August 14, 2003, and a

law and motion deadline was not subsequently prescribed.1
