Case No.: 1:07-CV-00066-JMR

ORDER

Pending before the Court is Defendants’ Motion to Modify the Schedule (Doc. #156).

Defendants request that the Court modify the schedule by staying any outstanding deadlines,

particularly the December 23, 2009 deadline for Defendants’ motion for summary judgment,

pending full briefing and determination of Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss Misjoined

Defendants and Sever Claims (Doc. #149). On December 15, 2009, the Court extended the

deadline for Plaintiff’s response to Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss to January 14, 2010.

Defendants argue that a favorable ruling on their Motion to Dismiss could reduce the number

of defendants and claims in this action and, in turn, reduce the scope of any motion for

summary judgment. Because of this, Defendants claim that judicial economy will be served

by first determining their Motion to Dismiss before requiring any filing of a motion for

summary judgment.

Accordingly, in the interest of judicial economy, and good cause having been shown,
