Defendants.
Seven defendants in this action who were dismissed by this court’s order of July 25,
2014, have moved for entry of final judgment pursuant to Rules 7(b) and 54(b) of the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure.
After reviewing the briefs on the issue and examining the totality of the circumstances
in this case, the court exercises its discretion not to certify its July 25, 2014, order for
interlocutory appeal.

It should be noted that in their memorandum of support in relation to the motion, the
dismissed defendants suggest that it may be “years” before the remaining claims in this
action are tried to judgment. The Court disagrees. The remaining parties to this action are
hereby advised that, inasmuch as this case is over four years old, it must receive top priority
in the offices of all attorneys of record, and the scheduling order established in this case will
be extended only upon a strong showing of compelling circumstances. All counsel should
be forewarned as to the Court’s position on moving towards a trial in this case, and should
plan their schedules and decide upon accepting employment in future cases with this in mind.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
