Alliance need to conduct discovery; (b) whether the Medical Groups and the

Alliance seek to file briefs in response to the currently pending motions for

summary judgment or to file an entirely new motion(s); and (c) the timing of the

revised briefing schedule and hearing. While the Court wishes to provide the

parties, including the Medical Groups and the Alliance, an opportunity to address

the legal issues in this case, the Court does not want repetitive or duplicative

briefing.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
