2007. Given that the Supreme Court case may directly impact the

parties’ arguments, the court agrees that the law and motion

deadline should be extended. However, extending the law and motion

deadline also affects the other previously set dates. 

Accordingly, the court orders as follows:

1. The case is hereby STAYED pending the Supreme Court

issuing a decision in United States v. Atlantic Research

Corp. All previously set dates are hereby VACATED. 

2. The parties shall inform the court no later that seven

(7) days after the Supreme Court issues a decision in

United States v. Atlantic Research Corp. At that

point, the court will hold a status conference and reset

dates for law and motion cut off, pre-trial and trial.

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: April 6, 2007.
