February 9, 2011 Opinion or Order Filing 126 TEXT ORDER - The court has before it the informal request of Defendants Drummond Company, Inc. and Drummond Ltd. (the Drummond Defendants) for a week long extension of time within which to file requests for letters rogatory. The deadline which Defendants seek to extend, February 28, 2011, is contained in the Report of Parties' Planning Meeting (Doc. #74). No order has been entered by the court pursuant to the Report of Parties' Planning Meeting (Doc. #74) because of the pending motions to dismiss (Docs. #78, 81, 109). However, the court recognizes that the parties have been diligently following the deadlines contained in the Report of the Parties' Planning Meeting. Therefore, because the informal request is unopposed, and for good cause shown, the deadline within which requests for letters rogatory shall be filed is extended to March 7, 2011. The court recognizes that this deadline may need to be extended at a later date due to the current procedural posture of this case. Signed by Judge R David Proctor on 02/09/11. (SFR, )

February 18, 2010 Opinion or Order ORDER The court has before it Defendants Drummond Company, Inc. and Drummond Ltd.'s Motion for Extension of Time to Reply to Plaintiffs' Response in Opposition to Defendants' Motion to Dismiss the First Amended Complaint (Doc. #39) filed on February 17, 2010. Plaintiffs have opposed the Motion (Doc. #39), notwithstanding the fact that Plaintiffs requested and were granted an extension of time to file their opposition brief with respect to the Motion to Dismiss. This is not the first occasion when a party in this case has wholly ignored the Golden Rule. Defendants previously opposed Plaintiffs' extension of time to file their opposition. It is past time for the scorched- earth, unprofessional litigation tactics to stop - on both sides. Turning to the merits of the request, the court acknowledges that the issues presented by the Motion to Dismiss (Doc. #37 ) are significant and require careful consideration. For these reasons, the Motion for Extension of Time (Doc. #39 ) is GRANTED. Defendants SHALL file their reply brief no later than March 5, 2010." Signed by Judge R David Proctor on 2/18/2010. (KSS, )

November 18, 2009 Opinion or Order Filing 34 TEXT ORDER - The court has before it the November 17, 2009 opposed Motion for Enlargement of Time (Doc. #32) filed by one of the counsel for Plaintiffs. The Motion (Doc. #32) seeks a month-long extension of time for Plaintiffs to file an amended complaint, and was filed only two days before any amended complaint was due to be filed in accordance with this court's order (Doc. #31) dated November 9, 2009. While it may be the case that "lead counsel" (whoever that may be) is currently out of the country, Plaintiffs in this case are represented by four attorneys. The court finds that it is reasonable for at least one of those counsel - who is in the country and capable of timely filing an amended complaint - to do so. Nevertheless, the court will allow a more reasonable extension of time for filing of the amended pleading. Therefore, the Motion for Enlargement of Time (Doc. #32) is GRANTED IN PART. The deadline for Plaintiffs to file their amended complaint is extended by fourteen (14) days. Signed by Judge R David Proctor on 11/18/09. (SFR, )
