ORDER

Pending before the Court is Defendants' Motion to Strike Plaintiffs' Notice of Service

of Acceptance of Offer of Judgment/Acceptance of Offer of Judgment, Response to

Plaintiffs' Acceptance of Offer of Judgment and Request for Expedited Hearing. (Dkt. 78 ).

Defendants request an expedited hearing to address Plaintiffs' Notice of Service of

Acceptance of Offer of Judgment. (Dkt. 76). Defendants served Plaintiffs with an Offer of

Judgment on February 6, 2007. On February 12, 2007, Defendants notified the Court that

they had revoked the February 6th Offer of Judgment (Dkt. 72) and served Plaintiffs with

another Offer of Judgment (Dkt. 73). Plaintiffs notified the Court on February 16, 2007, that

they had accepted Defendants' February 6th Offer of Judgment. (Dkt. 76). While it is obvious

to the Court that an issue has arisen over the offers of judgement, the Court finds no reason

to grant Defendants' request for an expedited hearing. Instead, the Court will order Plaintiffs

to respond to Defendants' Motion to Strike (Dkt. 78) and extend the deadlines for filing
