BRIEFING ORDER

Before the court is defendants' Joint Ex-Parte Motion To

Amend Scheduling Order filed July 25, 2005, plaintiff's letter

opposition dated July 29, 2005 and defendants' letter of even

date. 

Having reviewed these papers, the court finds that

defendants have not been diligent in preparing to oppose the

pending motions. Defendants have known of these motions for a

long time. The original “Request for Injunctive Relief” was

filed March 9, 2005. The original class certification motion

was filed April 15, 2005. The scheduling order from which

defendants seek relief was entered May 27, 2005. While those

motions have been supplemented, both by briefs and

declarations, in July, defendants have cited no reason why

they could not have taken some or all of the discovery by now. 

At the same time, the court agrees that it would be more

prudent to defer consideration of class certification until

after the complaint has been settled. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED

as follows:

1. Defendants' joint motion to amend the scheduling

order as to plaintiff's Motion for Preliminary Injunction is

GRANTED to the extent that defendants' opposition is now due

August 15, 2005 and plaintiff's reply is now due August 22,

2005. It is DENIED in all other respects. 

2. Defendants' motion with respect to class

certification issues is GRANTED. The hearing presently

scheduled for September 7, 2005 on plaintiff's Motion for

Class Certification is VACATED. The court will set a new

hearing once the complaint is settled.

Dated: August 2, 2005
