Defendants.

On March 10, 2011, this Court issued an Order regarding a joint discovery letter in which it

18

resolved several issues raised by the parties. With respect to two issues on which the Court found

19

that it required further briefing, it held that if the parties could not reach agreement in light of the

20

guidance provided by the Court, NCG should file a motion by March 16. Thereafter, the Court

21

extended this deadline to April 15 due to an Order by Judge White requiring Plaintiffs’ counsel to

22

withdraw as counsel. Since then, this Court extended the deadline to May 17 to allow counsel time

23

to meet and confer, and again extended the deadline to June 20 due to the parties’ ongoing mediation

24

efforts. Judge White has continued the case management conference indefinitely until the parties

25

notify him that mediation has been completed, and the parties have informed this Court that

26

mediation efforts are continuing. Good cause appearing, the deadline for NCG’s discovery motion

27

is extended. NCG shall notify the Court promptly when settlement negotiations have ended if a

28

//

1

settlement is not reached, and shall have 21 days thereafter in which to bring its motion.

2 IT IS SO ORDERED.
