ORDER

DEFENDANTS

The Court adopts the plaintiffs' proposed schedule for expedited

discovery and trial, Doc. 21, with some comments and specified

changes. First, the Court notes Arkansas's objections and request for

trial ASAP. The plaintiffs, though, are entitled to choose to move a bit

more slowly in the circumstances. Second, as requested, discovery

response times are shortened to twenty days. Third, the trial date is

uncertain at this point. The Court directs counsel to hold March 18th20th and March 25th-27th as possibilities. The Court must see how its

docket develops in the meantime. We will lock in the trial date as soon

as practicable. A Final Scheduling Order will issue.

So Ordered.
