ORDER GRANTING IN PART

DEFERRED PORTION OF

DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR ORDER

CONTINUING PRETRIAL DEADLINES

AND TRIAL DATE

On November 3, 2006, defendant filed a Motion for Order Continuing Pre-Trial

Deadlines and Trial Date, in which defendant sought an order continuing all pretrial

deadlines and the trial by three months. On November 7, 2006, the Court referred the

motion to Magistrate Judge Joseph C. Spero, for purposes of determining whether good

cause existed to extend the discovery deadlines and, if so, to reset the discovery deadlines.

The Court deferred ruling on defendant’s request to continue the other pretrial deadlines

and dates, as well as the trial date, until after Magistrate Judge Spero ruled on the request

to continue the discovery deadlines.

In an order filed December 5, 2006, Magistrate Judge Spero found good cause

existed to extend the discovery deadlines, and, in particular, extended the non-expert

discovery cutoff by two months and extended the expert discovery cutoff by one month. In

light of Magistrate Judge Spero’s order finding good cause exists to modify the Pretrial

Preparation Order, and having reviewed the parties’ submissions, the Court hereby

GRANTS in part the deferred portion of defendant’s motion, and hereby EXTENDS by one

month the deadline to file dispositive motions, the deadline to meet and confer, the pretrial

conference, and the trial, as follows:

1. The deadline to file dispositive motions is continued from March 9, 2007 to April

6, 2007; any such motion shall be noticed for hearing 35 days thereafter.

2. The further status conference remains on April 27, 2007 as originally scheduled.

3. The deadline to meet and confer, pursuant to Civil Local Rule 16-10(b)(5), is

continued from June 4, 2007 to July 2, 2007.

4. The pretrial conference is continued from July 10, 2007 to August 7, 2007.

5. The trial is continued from July 30, 2007 to August 27, 2007.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
