ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’

REQUEST FOR ORDER SHORTENING

TIME

Before the Court is defendants’ Request for an Order Shortening Time (“Request”),

filed May 20, 2010, by which defendants seek to have their “Motion to Bifurcate and Sever”

(“Motion”) heard at the June 8, 2010 Pretrial Conference. Plaintiffs have not filed

opposition to the Request.

Because the relief sought in the Motion is in the nature of a motion in limine, the

Court finds it appropriate to consider the Motion at the Pretrial Conference.

Accordingly, the Request is hereby GRANTED, and the Court sets the following

briefing schedule on the Motion:

1. The Motion shall be filed no later than Wednesday, May 26, 2010.1

the filing of replies in support of motions in limine, no reply shall be allowed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
