PROCEEDINGS

The Honorable Thelton E. Henderson held a status conference in this case on

December 13, 2007, and has consulted with all judges on this court. After careful

consideration of the parties’ arguments and the unique factual circumstances of this case,

including the very tight timelines originally imposed by this court on the parties, the court

finds good cause to order as follows:

1. All pretrial and trial dates are VACATED pending further order of the court.

2. Defendants’ December 7, 2007 motion for reconsideration is DENIED, except

as provided in paragraph 3 infra.

privilege logs is GRANTED IN PART. The matter is referred back to the magistrate judge

4. The question of the dates for filing expert reports and the issues relating to

IT IS SO ORDERED.
