We have three pending motions before the Court at this time.
First up, is Plaintiffs' Rule 56(f) Motion for discovery (see July 26 entry for links). Today, we filed our reply brief so this one is all qued up for the hearing on August 17 before Magistrate Judge Boyd N. Boland.
Second, we have received the government's Motion for Protective Order Staying Discovery which was filed on Friday, August 6. The Court ordered an expedited briefing and hearing schedule so that this motion will also be heard on August 17 by Judge Boland. It makes sense to hear these motions together, as they both relate to what discovery Plaintiffs will be entitled to and whether the Government's stonewalling tactics will be permitted to proceed. We will file our opposition brief on Monday, August 16.
Finally, we have a pending Motion to Amend the complaint (see Aug. 3rd entry for links), to which the Government's opposition was recieved today. A hearing date has not been set for this motion.
