The current Scheduling Order in this case (Docket No. 181) is clarified as
follows: Pursuant to the Court’s original order granting class certification,
discovery of the individual Class members (other than the named
plaintiffs), including but not limited to depositions and Rule 34 inspections,
and any expert reports and dispositive motions addressing any claims of
individual Class members, will be deferred until after individual Class
members assert liability and damages claims if Chief Judge Krieger’s
ruling on the four legal issues would allow such claims to be asserted. If
such claims are allowed, and as contemplated by the Court’s order (Doc.
120 at 12), the Parties shall request a status conference with the Court.
