b. The pending motion for reconsideration before this Court on the attorneyclient privilege; and

c. The motion for reconsideration regarding the deliberative process privilege

that Defendants announced an intent to file during the May 30 status conference.

2. Absent any settlement, trial in this matter shall begin on November 17, 2008.

Unless otherwise ordered, each trial day shall run from 9:15 AM until 4:00 PM. The Court

may also decide to hold trials on Tuesdays through Fridays only, in which case the start of

trial may be delayed until November 18, 2008. Trial shall be held in the United States

District Court for the Northern District of California, located at 450 Golden Gate Avenue,

San Francisco, California.1

3. The parties and intervenors shall meet and confer regarding: (1) proposed new

discovery deadlines given the thirty-day stay ordered above; (2) proposed pretrial dates to

accompany the November trial date; and (3) the estimated length of trial. The parties and

intervenors shall set forth their views on these issues, and any other relevant issues, in a joint

status conference statement to be filed on or before June 9, 2008. The Court will carefully

consider the parties’ and intervenors’ proposals but retains discretion to set its own pretrial

dates and deadlines. The parties and intervenors are advised that if they propose a

dispositive motion schedule, they shall explain why such a schedule is necessary given the

extensive factual disputes that exist in this case.

Under 28 U.S.C. § 2284(b)(3), a single judge on a three-judge court “may conduct all

proceedings except the trial, and enter all orders permitted by the rules of civil procedure

except as provided in this subsection. He may grant a temporary restraining order on a

specific finding, based on evidence submitted, that specified irreparable damage will result if

the order is not granted, which order, unless previously revoked by the district judge, shall

remain in force only until the hearing and determination by the district court of three judges

of an application for a preliminary injunction. A single judge shall not appoint a master, or

order a reference, or hear and determine any application for a preliminary or permanent

injunction or motion to vacate such an injunction, or enter judgment on the merits. Any

action of a single judge may be reviewed by the full court at any time before final judgment.”

4. The parties and intervenors shall appear for a status conference before this

Court on Friday, June 27, 2008, at 10:30 AM. The status conference shall be held in the

Ceremonial Courtroom of the United States District Court for the Northern District of

California, located on the 19th Floor at 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
