Plaintiff moves for leave to file a First Amended Complaint

adding DaimlerChrysler Corporation, DaimlerChrysler Motors Company,

LLC, and DaimlerChrysler North American Holding Corporation as parties

to this action. The motion is unopposed. 

Plaintiff’s motion is timely and consistent with the June

26, 2007 Rule 16 Scheduling Order. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion is

granted and Plaintiff has leave until and including December 24, 2007

to file her proposed First Amended Complaint.

Since it is evident that granting this motion necessitates

rescheduling this action, the June 26, 2007 Rule 16 Scheduling Order

is vacated. A status conference is set for March 31, 2007, at 9:00

a.m. in Courtroom 10. Concurrently with the service of process, or as

soon thereafter as possible, Plaintiff shall serve upon

DaimlerChrysler Corporation, DaimlerChrysler Motors Company, LLC and

DaimlerChrysler North American Holding Corporation, a copy of this

order, and shall file with the Clerk of Court a certificate reflecting

such service. The parties shall file a Joint Status Report with the

court not later than fourteen days prior to the scheduling conference.

Because of the above rulings, the issues in Defendant

Richard Lockhart’s motion for leave to file a Third Party Complaint,

filed November 12, 2007, need not be reached and that motion is deemed

withdrawn.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 7, 2007
