ORDER

This matter is before the court on its Memorandum and Order (Filing No. 110). The
plaintiff does not appear as ordered. Counsel for the plaintiff, Vincent M. Ekeh, appears
on behalf of the plaintiff in both pending matters. George B. Achola and Natalie M. Blanke
appear on behalf of the defendants. Counsel for the plaintiff represents to the court that
the plaintiff authorizes him to represent her in Case No. 8:11-CV-192.
The court finds that there are sufficient factual and legal issues presented in the
newly consolidated case to allow further discovery and expedited case progression. The
court refers this matter to the magistrate judge for expedited progression subject to the
following: written requests for discovery (interrogatories, requests for production and
admissions) must be presented on or before June 27, 2011; discovery will close on
August 26, 2011; and dispositive motions must be filed on or before September 9, 2011.
The magistrate judge shall set all other progression dates it deems appropriate including
pretrial conference and trial.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:
1. Vincent M. Ekeh is counsel of record for the plaintiff in the above-captioned
consolidated action.
2.

This action is referred to the magistrate judge for expedited progression

consistent with this order.
DATED this 13th day of June, 2011.
