Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b), and for the following reasons, the parties hereby move the Court to modify the period in which parties may serve requests for admissions and contention interrogatories. Lead Plaintiffs request that this discovery now be served between January 6, 2006 and February 6, 2006. As good cause therefore, Lead Plaintiffs state: Under the Revised Scheduling Order in this action (entered on March 19, 2004), "[p]arties may serve contention interrogatories 15 days after the close of deposition discovery." Revised Scheduling Order at 22. On July 22, 2005, the Court modified the December 10, 2004 Corrected Stipulated and Amended Scheduling Order stating that that "[f]rom September 19, 2005 through October 19, 2005, the parties may serve requests for admissions on issues other than document authenticity." When the July 22, 2005 Order was entered, deposition discovery closed on September 15, 2005. Subsequent to these actions, the Court extended the close of deposition discovery until the end of October. Further, Qwest has asked for reconsideration or leave to appeal the Court's order compelling Qwest to produce approximately 220,000 pages it produced to the SEC pursuant to written confidentiality agreements, but has withheld from Lead Plaintiffs based upon its claims of attorney work product and attorney-client privilege grounds ("Limited Waiver Documents"). The Court recently granted Qwest's motion to stay production of the Limited Waiver Documents pending review of that issue by the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. Finally, the United States Attorney for the
