request for immediate ruling without hearing on the motion for good

faith determination. 

Although plaintiffs represent to the court that “[a]ll

currently named parties have signed ‘reviewed and approved as to

form and content’ the (proposed) order granting the motion,”

plaintiffs also concede that there are “potential future additional

parties” who may have an interest in the litigation. Mot. at 3-4.

Out of an abundance of caution and because of the numerous parties

involved in this litigation, the court DENIES plaintiffs’ request

for an immediate ruling on the matter. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: September 29, 2005.
