plaintiff’s opposition should the court grant plaintiff’s request.

Defendants will also be granted an extension of time to file a reply.

On January 23, 2006 and January 26, 2006, plaintiff filed requests for protective

orders. These documents were considered in connection with plaintiff’s motion for temporary

restraining order, which was addressed by this court’s January 30, 2006 findings and

recommendations. In light of those findings, plaintiff’s requests will be denied without

prejudice.

Finally, in light of the pending motion for summary judgment, and good cause

appearing, the deadlines for filing pretrial statements, and the dates set for pretrial conference and

jury trial will be vacated. Said dates will be reset, if appropriate, following resolution of

defendant’s motion for summary judgment. 

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff's January 17, 2006, January 19, 2006 and January 23, 2006 requests

and motion for an extension of time are granted; and plaintiff’s January 17, 2006 opposition and

January 19, 2006 statement are deemed timely filed.

2. Defendant’s reply, if any, shall be filed seven days from the date of this order.

3. Plaintiff’s January 23, 2006 and January 25, 2006 requests for protective

orders are denied without prejudice.

4. The parties are relieved of the obligation to file pretrial statements until further

order of court; 

5. The February 24, 2006 pretrial conference on the papers before the

undersigned is vacated; 

6. Jury trial set for May 16, 2006 before the Honorable Lawrence K. Karlton is

vacated; and
