Defendants. /

No. C 99-3941 SI

ORDER SETTING FINAL DEADLINE

FOR COTTLE PLAINTIFFS TO SUBMIT

ALL REQUIRED FORMS

The parties have submitted numerous letter briefs regarding certain Cottle plaintiffs’ failure to

comply with Scheduling Order No. 6.1 Defendants’ most recent letter requests dismissal of these

plaintiffs, or alternatively requests the Court to set a final deadline after which non-complying plaintiffs

will be dismissed with prejudice. The forms were due November 13, 2006, and since that date plaintiffs

have produced some, but not all, of the necessary documents for various Cottle plaintiffs. The parties

dispute the reasons why plaintiffs have not complied with Scheduling Order No. 6. 

In the interest of resolving plaintiffs’ claims on the merits rather than on procedural default, the

Court sets a final deadline of February 13, 2007 for Cottle plaintiffs to submit all required forms. Any

Cottle plaintiff who fails to meet this deadline shall be dismissed with prejudice. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 6, 2007
