ORDER
Goodman’s unopposed motion to extend discovery and have a status
conference, ¹ 91, is granted as modified. Phase 1 discovery is extended until
18 December 2015. Joint report on scheduling issues needing resolution due
by 2 October 2015. We’ll have a conference thereafter if need be. The Court
regrets that the press of other business has prevented it from deciding the
motions to dismiss. The Court hopes to rule on ¹ 61 and ¹ 69 by the end of

October. Meanwhile, briefing on class certification should continue. The
parties should hold 6 June 2016 as a back up trial date.
So Ordered.
