16

In two pages, double-spaced, with 12-point font, without footnotes or attachments, each

17

side must explain if granting defendants’ motion for summary judgment of all claims based on

18

lack of evidence regarding causation would be dispositive of the case, notwithstanding the new

19

amended complaint that has been filed. Defendants must file a joint two-page statement. The

20

statements are due by 4 P.M. ON JULY 16, 2012.

21

The Court is concerned with the proliferation of other motions and the fact that

22

defendants have filed two additional motions for summary judgment and a motion to dismiss

23

(not including the various motions to exclude) in addition to the causation motion. For the time

24

being, briefing on all motions shall go forward, but be aware that the Court will deal with the

25

multiplicity of motions in an appropriate way.

26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
