The Court is, w/ great reluctance, granting counsel's request, solely because of the Court's concern that pltff have their claims addressed on the merits. Pltffs' counsel's conduct is not to be condoned. Throughout this litigation, he has been cavalier about adherence to Court Orders. If pltffs' counsel does not have the resources to properly represent clients in accordance w/ the F.R.C.P., he should decline such representation ; Pltffs' response to the summary jdgmt. motion shall be hand-delivered to defts' counsel by no later than 4:00 p.m. on 3/22/99. Failure to comply w/ this order shall result in pltffs being precluded from submitting any opposition to the motion. Defts' reply papers shall be served and the motion fld. by 4/13/99 ; ( signed by Magistrate Judge Theodore H. Katz ) (ls) (Entered: 03/24/1999) | |||
