NOTICE OF RULING
Re:

Document No. 7, Motion to Continue Pretrial Conference

Ruling: Granted in part; denied in part. The pretrial
conference is continued for fourteen days, until March 20, 2013.
On or before March 18, 2013, the parties shall file a joint
discovery plan (or separate proposed plans). In the event the
court approves a proposed discovery plan and issues a scheduling
order before the pretrial conference, the pretrial conference
may no longer be necessary. To the extent defendants request an
indefinite continuance for the issuance of a scheduling order,
the request is denied. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(2) (setting
forth strict time limits within which scheduling order must
issue) & LR 16.1(a) (pretrial conference not required where
discovery plan is approved).
