               v.                  |

ORDER

The Court is in receipt of the Defendants' "Motion to Dismiss all Claims Against Defendants Richard Robbins, Stephen O'Neill and Andrew Keness and all claims for Money Damages," as well as the Plaintiffs' "Motion to Reconsider Denial of Plaintiffs' Application for a TRO, or, alternatively to Dismiss the Complaint as Frivolous," which were both filed with the Court today.

As the parties are aware, a hearing is scheduled for January 12, 1995 at 2:00 p.m. on the Plaintiffs' Motion for a Preliminary Injunction and the merits of the above-captioned case. The Court recalls that at the January 6, 1995 hearing on the Plaintiffs' application for a Temporary Restraining Order, Plaintiff William Thomas represented that the Plaintiffs might need additional time to perform discovery. Accordingly, in view of the foregoing, and in order to afford both parties the time to respond in writing to the motions filed today, it is, by the Court this 11th day of January, 1995,

ORDERED that the hearing scheduled for January 6, 1995 at 2:00 p.m. on the Plaintiffs' Motion for a Preliminary Injunction and on

the merits of the above-captioned case shall be, and hereby is CANCELLED, and it is,

FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall have until 4:00 p.m. on January 23, 1995 in which to file their respective Oppositions to the Defendants' "Motion to Dismiss all Claims Against Defendants Richard Robbins, Stephen O'Neill and Andrew Keness and all claims for Money Damages," and the Plaintiffs "motion to Reconsider Denial of Plaintiffs' Application for a TRO, or alternatively to Dismiss the Complaint as Frivolous," and it is

FURTHER ORDERED that the Court adds the precatory wish that any Replies thereto shall be filed on or before 4:00 p.m. on January 27, 1995, and it is

FURTHER ORDERED that, in view of the statement contained in the Plaintiffs' Motion for Reconsideration, filed today, with respect to the Court's earlier denial of their application for a Temporary Restraining Order, the Court wishes to take this opportunity to say that this Court takes considerable interest in this and any other case before it and will not and does not deal with any case except in the most serious possible way, and it is

FURTHER ORDERED the Clerk shall notify the parties of the contents of this Order immediately upon receipt of the same.
