UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT WASLEY PRODUCTS, INC., et al Plaintiffs, : : : : : : : : : : CIVIL ACTION NO. 3:03 CV 00383 (MRK) THIS PLEADING PERTAINS TO ALL CASES

v. BARRY L. BULAKITES, et al, Defendants.

JUNE 28, 2005

PRENTISS PLAINTIFFS' OBJECTION TO MOTION FOR PHASED DISCOVERY The plaintiffs in the Prentiss case object to defendant Nationwide's motion for phased discovery. While ostensibly convenient to Nationwide, if the Court ordered the parties to conduct discovery in phases, it would actually only create confusion and undue delay. Wasley Products, Precision Molding, and the plan trustees Wasley, Brady, Dumas-Laferriere, and Connell have thoroughly explained in their briefs the overlapping issues that make it impractical for the parties to conduct discovery in this case in phases. The plaintiffs in the Prentiss case adopt their arguments rather than repeat them in a separate memorandum. For the reasons set forth by the other parties in the case, the plaintiffs in the Prentiss case ask the Court to deny Nationwide's motion for phased discovery.
