Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 1. All pretrial motions, except motions to compel discovery, shall be filed on or before April 27, 2009. Motions shall be briefed in accordance with paragraph 2 of this Court's Second Informational order. 1 ORDER IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA SILVESTER GOMEZ, Plaintiff, Case No. 1:06-cv-00491 ALA (P)
