Defendants have moved pursuant to Civil Local Rules 6-3 and 7-11 for an order

shortening the time for the Court to hear Defendants’ Motion to Extend Expert Discovery, 

Summary Judgment and Trial Dates (D.I. 184), filed on June 8, 2007. Plaintiff does not oppose 

Defendants’ motion. Timely resolution of Defendants’ motion will facilitate an orderly close of 

expert discovery and streamline the summary judgment process. 

The Court grants Defendants’ motion to shorten time. Defendants’ Motion to Extend will 

be heard on July 6, 2007 at 9:00 a.m. The parties’ papers shall be filed and served according to 

the following schedule: 

Ɣ VNUS’s opposition brief will be due no later than June 22, 2007, by 4:00 p.m.; and 

Ɣ Defendants’ reply brief will be due no later than Thursday, June 28, 2007 (rather 

than on June 29, 2007, as defendants requested in the instant motion to shorten 

time). 

The parties are reminded of their obligation to provide chambers copies by noon the date 

after electronically filing any document. 

IT IS SO ORDERED
