This matter is before the Court on the motion (Filing No.

of

the

defendant

to

motions in light of rescheduling trial.

(Filing No. 469)

The plaintiff has filed a brief

The defendant also filed
in support of its motion.

(Filing No.

470)

in opposition.

The motion is denied; however the Court will extend the deadline
until May 15, 2014.
First, the defendant has a fundamental misunderstanding
of the Court's direction during the April 8,

2014 hearing.

The

Court did not state that the parties should "try to resolve their
motions in limine" by July 31, 2014.

~6;

469-

The Court ordered all pretrial motions be resolved by

July 31, 2014.
until July 31,

If the Court extended the parties' filing deadlines
2014,

the Court could not resolve those motions

until later.

This is contrary to the Court's order.

Therefore,

the Court will not extend the filing deadlines to July 31, 2014.
Nevertheless,

the Court supports the ambitions of the

parties to limit the substantial amount of deposition designations
and objections.
May

15,

2014

Therefore, the Court will allow an extension until
for

the

parties

to

meet

and

under

the

understanding the Court will not consider further extensions.
IT IS ORDERED:
1) The defendant's motion to extend the filing deadlines
for its brief in opposition to Filing No. 442 and brief in reply to
Filing No. 464 is denied; however, the Court grants the defendant
an extension for those briefs until May 15, 2014.
DATED this 29th day of April, 2014.
