the nature of the case in the related matter of 09-CV-4029. Finally, the parties are in discussion regarding a possible consolidation of 09-CV-4029 with 10-CV-182. For these reasons, drafting a joint case management statement and participating in a case management conference would be an inefficient use of the Court's and the parties' time and resources, at this time. There have been no prior modifications regarding dkt. # 31 in this case. The requested modification would have no effect on the schedule for the case. Therefore, the schedule set in the Court's Order of April 13, 2010, dkt. # 31, shall be suspended until such time as deemed proper by the Court. IT IS SO STIPULATED. Dated: May 3, 2010 Respectfully submitted, TONY WEST Assistant Attorney General JOSEPH P. RUSSONIELLO United States Attorney /s/ John J. Siemietkowski J. CHRISTOPHER KOHN RUTH A. HARVEY E.
