Motion] calendared for September 18, 2006 before this Court.

2. The relief sought by the Beentjes Motion is the same as the relief sought by the

Applicants’ motion. 

3. Applicants filed their motion on August 23, 2006 and served it electronically on the

plaintiff. 

4. Plaintiff has not yet responded to the Beentjes Motion.

5. Since there are common issues of law and fact in the Beentjes Motion and the

Applicants’ motion, judicial economy occurs if the two motion are heard together on

September 18, 2006.

6. Applicants’ Motion is not calendared in accordance with the current Local Rules

requiring 35 days –it being 9 days short of the 35 day requirement. 

6. Under the circumstances plaintiff will not be prejudiced in responding to both motions

simultaneously.

7. The alternative is to reset both motions to a later date. 

Dated: August 25, 2006
