Before the Court is the parties’ Joint Status Report Regarding Discovery Relating to

absent extraordinary circumstances. In light of this firm deadline, the Court will amend its
standard procedure for the resolution of discovery disputes: If a discovery dispute arises,
the parties are DIRECTED to confer with United States Magistrate Judge H. Bruce Guyton.1

The parties are advised that delays occasioned by discovery disputes would not constitute
an extraordinary circumstance for purposes of this Order, nor would the press of other business or
work-related demands alone.
