Defendant Medtronic Inc. (“Medtronic”) removed this action on September 14, 2005. The

following day, Medtronic filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings, and noticed the motion for

hearing on October 24, 2005. The next day, Medtronic filed a motion for summary judgment and

similarly noticed the motion for hearing on October 24, 2005. On September 20, 2005, Plaintiff

Richard Randall (“Randall”) filed a motion to remand and noticed the motion for hearing on October

31, 2005.

Presently before the Court is Randall’s motion to enlarge the time to file oppositions to

Medtronic’s two motions, and to shorten the deadline for the parties to confer as required by Rule

26(f), Fed.R.Civ.P. Medtronic has filed an opposition to the motion.

 Having reviewed the papers, the Court orders as follows. For the sake of judicial economy,

Medtronic’s two motions and Plaintiff’s motion are all tentatively continued to December 12, 2005,

9:00 a.m. The request to shorten the deadline for the parties to confer as required by Rule 26(f), as

well as any and all discovery disputes, are referred to Magistrate Judge Seeborg. If Magistrate Judge

Seeborg determines that Randall must engage in discovery before responding to any of the motions and
