1. Any opposition shall be filed on or before August 25, 2008.

2. The reply shall be filed on or before September 2, 2008, at 12:00 noon.

3. No oral argument will be heard unless otherwise ordered by the Court.

4. If the Court ultimately rules against Defendant-Intervenors, it will extend any

necessary pretrial deadlines to allow for the preparation and disclosure of expert reports by

hybrid witnesses.

5. Any depositions of the witnesses at issue that have already been scheduled shall

proceed as scheduled. If necessary following the resolution of Defendant-Intervenors’

motion, the Court may allow a brief period for conducting supplemental depositions of any

hybrid witnesses who have already been deposed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
