Prior orders twice denied plaintiffs’ requests to stay the proceedings in favor of a

19

hypothetical motion to remand. For reasons unknown, plaintiffs delayed filing that motion for

20

remand until the normal 35-day calendar would not allow it to be heard on the same day as the

21

pending misjoinder motion and motion to dismiss. Now that plaintiffs has filed the motion for

22

remand, plaintiffs (joined by certain defendants) seek once again to stay the proceedings.

23

In the interest of judicial efficiency the briefing deadlines on plaintiffs’ motion to remand

24

(Dkt. No. 58) are hereby modified as follows: defendants shall file their opposition to the

25

motion to remand by NOON ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 31; plaintiffs shall file their reply by

26

NOON ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 3. The hearing scheduled for January 31 is shall be

27

RESCHEDULED

to

1

JANUARY 10. The stipulated requests to extend the briefing schedule (Dkt. Nos. 60–61) are

2

DENIED.
