After oral argument, the parties and court agreed that in the interest of justice, Plaintiffs should proceed with the filing of an amended complaint. To that end, Plaintiffs shall file an amended complaint on or before 2/15/11 by 5:00 p.m. Defendants response to said amended complaint is due to the Court on or before 3/1/11 on or before 5:00 pm.

In light of same, the Court will conduct a status conference on 3/3/11 at 11:00 a.m. by phone as it relates to Plaintiffs' amended complaint and Defendant's pending motions, at which time a further briefing schedule and oral argument will be scheduled.

Minute Entry for proceedings held before Judge Nora Barry Fischer: Case Management Conference held on 2/7/2011 indicating that counsel for Plaintiffs provided the Court with information concerning the background of the seven Plaintiffs and also answered the Courts questions regarding the nature of the action; potential number of witnesses in addition to describing in general various documents which may be pertinent. The Court reviewed with the parties their 26(f) reports in detail and particularly the description of documents and individuals encompassed by fact discovery. Although in many areas the parties have agreements, many areas may require the Courts intervention. The Court also reminded parties of their duty to disclose both hard copy and electronic documents. Initial disclosures must be made by 3/3/11 by 5:00 p.m. Because of disagreements concerning the course of discovery, the Court orders that counsel provide the Court with proposed orders by 3/18/11 at 5:00 p.m. For good cause shown, the Court enlarges the limitations of discovery on both depositions and interrogatories. Counsel will supplement their Rule 26(f) reports by 4/4/11 by 5:00 p.m. Counsel will also submit a proposed protective order by said date. The Court will conduct periodic discovery status conferences, the first of which will occur on 4/5/11 at 10:00 a.m. EST, the Court to initiate the call. Following the case management conference, counsel for the parties continued their discussion concerning the case. Court orders to follow. (Court Reporter: None) (jg) (Entered: 02/08/2011)

Minute Entry for proceedings held before Judge Nora Barry Fischer: Motion Hearing held on 3/23/2011 on Plaintiff's "Motion to Dismiss Defendant's Counterclaim," 24, Plaintiff's "Motion to Strike Certain of PGW's Affirmative Defenses," 26, and Defendant's "Motion to Dismiss Count III of Plaintiffs' First Amended Complaint," 59 . The Court denied said motions on the record. An appropriate Order follows. The Court acknowledged receipt of the parties' proposed scheduling orders, ( 66, 67 ). The parties then agreed to postpone discussion of same until the first periodic discovery status conference, which is presently set to occur on 4/5/11 at 10:00 a.m. EST. The Court will initiate the call. The Court also inquired concerning the status of disclosures and was advised that counsel are proceeding in that regard. At the request of the parties, the Court ordered the production of the transcript, with costs of said transcription to be borne equally by the parties. (Court Reporter: K. Earley) (jg) (Entered: 03/24/2011)

ORDER indicating that upon consideration of the parties; arguments, and for reasons stated on the record during the 3/23/11 hearing, it is hereby ordered that: 1. Defendant shall file its Amended Answer with Affirmative Defenses and Counterclaims by 4/14/11 at 5:00 p.m.; 2. Plaintiffs' Motion to Dismiss Defendant's Counterclaim 24 is denied, as moot, and without prejudice to Plaintiffs raising the issues set forth therein in a Motion for Summary Judgment at the conclusion of fact discovery upon Order of Court; 3. To the extent Plaintiff Benjamin D. Thompson, however, wishes to renew his motion to dismiss after the filing of Defendant's Amended Answer, said motion shall be filed by 4/28/11 at 5:00 p.m. Defendant's response to same, if any, shall be filed by 5/12/11 at 5:00 p.m.; 4. Plaintiffs' Motion to Strike 26 is denied, as moot. Moreover, based on the status of this case, including ongoing disclosures and argument of counsel pertinent to the facts underlying the affirmative defenses raised by Defendant, and the present state of the law in this District, the Court finds that Defendant's Affirmative Defenses, as stated in its "Answer, Affirmative Defenses and Counterclaim" 8, provide Plaintiffs with sufficient notice to prepare for and participate in discovery as well as to counter same; 5. Defendant's Motion to Dismiss 59 is denied without prejudice to Defendant raising the issues set forth therein in a Motion for Summary Judgment at the conclusion of fact discovery upon Order of Court.
