ORDER DENYING GRUICH

DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR

MODIFICATION OF PRETRIAL

SCHEDULING ORDER

(Docket No. 107)

On April 9, 2007, the Court referred defendants Frank Gruich, Jr. and Gruich

Pharmacy Shoppe’s (“Gruich defendants”) Motion for an Order Modifying Pretrial

Scheduling Order and Continuing Trial and Associated Dates, and for an order shortening

time for the hearing thereon, to Magistrate Judge Bernard Zimmerman, for purposes of

determining whether good cause existed to extend the discovery deadlines, and, if so, to

reset the discovery deadlines. The Court further stated therein that, to the extent the

Gruich defendants additionally sought to continue other pretrial deadlines and dates, as

well as the trial date, the Court would defer ruling thereon until after Judge Zimmerman

ruled on the request to extend the discovery deadlines.

On April 17, 2007, Judge Zimmerman issued an order extending the non-expert

discovery cutoff from April 20, 2007 to May 11, 2007, extending the expert disclosure

deadline from May 11, 2007 to May 18, 2007, and ordering that all other dates remain the

same. In light of the brief extensions of the discovery deadlines granted by Judge

Zimmerman, there are no grounds for extending any other pretrial deadlines or the trial

date.

Accordingly, except to the extent granted by Judge Zimmerman, the Gruich

defendants’ motion is hereby DENIED.

This order terminates Docket No. 107.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
