conduct specified discovery. However, the final pretrial conference

is scheduled for October 24, 2005, and discovery and any dispute

regarding the same is supposed to be completed before the parties meet

and confer on the content of a joint pretrial statement.

Nevertheless, to accommodate the parties’ joint request to

reopen discovery, the final pretrial conference is rescheduled for

hearing on December 19, 2005, at 1:30 p.m. Discovery shall be

completed by October 11, 2005. 

Since discovery is not complete, the parties’ request for a

settlement conference to be referenced to the magistrate judge is

denied. However, the parties could contact the magistrate judge’s

deputy clerk to ascertain if the magistrate judge is willing to

conduct a settlement conference in this action, even though discovery

is not complete.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
