ORDER GRANTING MOTION IN PART

This cause is before the Court on plaintiffs’ motion to continue trial and extend certain
deadlines (Doc. 148). The Court finds the motion should be granted but only in part. The
requested extensions are far too extensive in this year old case. Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that plaintiffs’ motion to continue trial and extend certain deadlines (Doc.
148) be granted in part and the following deadlines are set in this case: the expert witness
disclosure for the plaintiffs is September 14, 2012 and for the defendants it is September 28,
2012; all discovery will be completed in this case on or before October 19, 2012; mediation
shall be scheduled and held on or before October 19, 2012; dispositive motions shall be filed
on or before November 19, 2012; the pretrial conference now scheduled is cancelled and the

Magistrate Judge shall set a new pretrial conference for the month of April 2013; and the trial,
a trial which is expected to take up to 160 hours to try, is now scheduled for a trial calendar
commencing May 6, 2013.
DONE and ORDERED in Chambers, in Tampa, Florida, this 31st day of July, 2012.
