Until the Court rules on Plaintiffs' motions for class certification, discovery shall be limited to those issues of fact and law necessary for the Court to determine whether or not this case should be maintained as a class action; in so limiting discovery, the Court is mindful that the parties must conduct some limited amount of discovery into the merits of the claim to adequately present their position on the feasibility and propriety of certification; it is not the Court's intent to foreclose any and all discovery into the merits of Plaintiffs' claims and the Defendants' defenses. The Court will address the need for further deadlines related to additional discovery on the merits, dispositive motions, jury selection and trial at a later time after the Court determines whether this action may proceed as a class action or as an individual action. It is so ORDERED. SIGNED this ____ day of ___________, 2009.
