appeared as counsel for defendant. After hearing, the court makes

the following findings and orders:

SERVICE OF PROCESS

All parties defendant have been served and no further service

is permitted except with leave of court, good cause having been

shown.

JURISDICTION/VENUE

undisputed and is hereby found to be proper, as is venue.

DISCOVERY

No modifications of the discovery requirements found in the

cautioned that changes to any of the scheduled dates will

necessarily result in changes to all other dates. Thus, even where

good cause has been shown, the court will not grant a request to

change the discovery cutoff date without modifying the pretrial and

trial dates.

Agreement by the parties pursuant to stipulation does not

constitute good cause. Nor does the unavailability of witnesses

or counsel, except in extraordinary circumstances, constitute good

cause.

The parties are reminded of their continuing obligation to

supplement their statements relative to the identification of

parent corporations and any publicly held company that owns 10% or

more of the party's stock within a reasonable time of any change

in the information.

The parties are admonished that they are not to cite or refer

to any of the quotations inscribed in the pavers on the front plaza

of the United States Courthouse in any written or oral presentation

to the court or a jury.

There appear to be no other matters presently pending before

the court that will aid the just and expeditious disposition of

this matter.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: January 18, 2007.
