ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the court on periodic docket review. The CJRA report
indicates that this action is now reportable as a case that is more than three years old.
Review of the Pretrial Order (#78), which was entered in 2010, reveals that deadlines for fact
discovery, dispositive motions, and trial have not been set. The court notes that a Petition
has been filed with the Fourth Circuit seeking leave to appeal the Order (#131) denying class
certification.
The court will, therefore, direct the parties to conduct a supplemental Initial
Attorney’s Conference and file a supplemental CIAC and proposed supplemental pretrial
order outlining their proposed course for prompt disposition of the case. While it is not
realistic that this case can be tried before the next CJRA reporting date of April 1, 2012, the
court expects the action to be resolved before the October 1, 2012 report. If the parties agree
that the proposed interlocutory appeal must be resolved before the remainder of this action
can proceed, they should so report such agreement to the court.
