ORDER SUSPENDING
BRIEFING DEADLINES

Case No. 1:12-CV-125
(Lead Case)

Case No. 1:12-CV-102
(Consolidated Case)

On May 5, 2014, plaintiffs filed a consolidated motion to compel. On August 6, 2014, the
court held a telephonic status conference to discuss the mechanics of resolving that motion.
Following the status conference, the court issued an order requiring defendants to submit the
documents at issue for in camera review. In that order, the court noted that the briefing schedule
established for defendant’s amended motions to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction would
remain in effect at that time.
On September 26, 2014, defendant filed its amended motions to dismiss. Plaintiffs’
responses to the motions are currently due by December 5, 2014. Given the potential impact of the
court’s forthcoming order on the motion to compel, the court ORDERS the existing briefing

schedule SUSPENDED pending further order of the court. The court will schedule a telephonic
status conference to set new briefing deadlines after the order on the motion to compel is issued.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated this 20th day of November, 2014.
