Civil Case No.

ORDER
On February 9, 2012, the Court entered an order granting Defendants’
Motion to Strike the Plaintiffs’ Motion to Proceed as a Collective Action (Doc. 74).
Prior to this order, the case had been stayed while the Court evaluated and
decided the issue of class certification. Now that the issue has been decided, the
stay is lifted.
The stay was put into place on August 23, 2011, after discovery had been
completed by the parties. Since the case will not proceed as a class action, the
Court can find no reason to reopen discovery. Therefore, parties have twentyone days from today to file any dispositive motions with the Court. All dispositive
motions must be received on or before Friday, March 2, 2012. The deadlines for
responses shall be set accordingly.

SO ORDERED, this 10th day of February, 2012.
