MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

A conference call was held today to discuss the current status of case progression. The
parties have jointly moved to stay the progression deadlines, (filing no. 38), because: 1) their
document discovery is ongoing due to the numerous states involved; 2) the plaintiff has faced a
medical setback and his future medical care and prognosis remain unclear; and 3) absent the
foregoing information, the parties are not in a position to negotiate a settlement or move forward to
trial. The court agrees. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED:
1)

The parties shall continue with discovery, particularly document discovery, to the
extent reasonable under the circumstances.

2)

The status conference previously scheduled for September 8, 2001 is cancelled.

3)

The pretrial conference and trial are removed from the court’s calendar, and the
discovery deadline, expert witness disclosure deadline, and dispositive and/or
Daubert motion deadline are stayed, pending further order of the court.

4)

A telephonic conference will be held on December 15, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. to discuss
the current status and further progression of this case. Plaintiffs’ counsel shall
arrange the call.
