249] from August 27, 2010 until September 17, 2010. These brief extensions will ensure that the parties have sufficient time to successfully complete their protective order negotiations prior to having to complete their discovery obligations under ¶ 2(B) of the Joint Agreed Discovery Order and the Docket Control Order. II. This motion is not made for delay, and should not impact any other deadline applicable to this litigation. III.
