ORDER SUSPENDING FORMAL DISCOVERY
On May 21, 2013, the parties appeared for a scheduling conference and
informed the court that there are some preliminary issues that should be addressed
before a scheduling order is entered. In particular, the parties must explore whether
counsel for Claimant Alexander Joanides has a conflict of interest in simultaneously
representing Claimant and another client in a separate case. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that formal discovery is SUSPENDED. The parties should
continue with voluntary discovery as they research their preliminary issues. The court
will hold another scheduling conference on June 27, 2013 at 10:30 am.
