ORDER SETTING TELEPHONE CONFERENCE
During the February 15, 2012 scheduling conference held in this matter, counsel
requested that the court delay entry of a scheduling order until the resolution of an
appeal pending in Newburgh/Six Mile Limited Partnership II v. Adlabs Films USA, Inc.,
No. 09-11067 (E.D. Mich.), appeal docketed, No. 10-2562 (6th Cir. Nov. 30, 2010)—the
suit on which this legal malpractice action is based. The court agreed on the
understanding that, should the district court’s decision be reversed, some or all of
Plaintiff’s claims may become moot. On May 22, 2012, the United States Court of
Appeals for the Sixth Circuit issued an opinion affirming the district court. Newburgh/Six
Mile Limited Partnership II v. Adlabs Films USA, Inc., No. 10-2562, 2012 WL 1850645
(6th Cir. May 22, 2012). The court would like to hear counsel’s views on the impact of
this decision on, and a potential trial schedule for, the instant litigation. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the telephone conference scheduled for June 18, 2012, at
2:00 p.m., is RESET to June 6, 2012, at 11:30 a.m. The court will place the telephone
call.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that counsel are DIRECTED to file a joint proposed
discovery plan under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(f) no later than June 5, 2012.
