THREE-JUDGE COURT

ORDER SETTING STANDARD

BRIEFING SCHEDULE FOR

MOTIONS

In its October 10, 2007 order, the Court ordered that any motion, other than a

discovery motion, “shall be filed without a noticed hearing date. The court will thereafter

issue an order setting, as appropriate, a hearing date and briefing schedule for any specific

motions so filed.” Oct. 10, 2007 Order at 7 n.6. The Court now finds, however, that it would

be useful to establish a standard briefing schedule for motions filed in these proceedings. 

Accordingly, for all motions filed in these proceedings except for motions in limine and

discovery motions before the magistrate judge, the following schedule shall be followed

unless otherwise ordered:

1. Opposition papers, if any, shall be filed and served no later than fourteen calendar

days after the filing of the motion.

2. Reply papers, if any, shall be filed and served no later than twenty-one calendar

days after the filing of the motion.

3. The matter shall then be deemed submitted on the papers, unless the Court

otherwise orders oral argument.

4. The Court reserves the discretion to rule on motions prior to the deadline for filing

opposition papers if the issues are clear and due process does not appear to warrant an

opportunity to respond.

Because Defendants’ motion for reconsideration regarding attorney-client privilege

was filed before this briefing schedule was put into effect, Plaintiffs shall have until May 9,

2008, to file an opposition to the motion, and Defendants may file a reply on or before

May 16, 2008. No oral argument on this motion will be necessary.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
