The Honorable Kent A. Jordan A
United States District Court
844 King Street
Wilmington, DE 19801
RE: Burks, et. al. v. State of Delaware Department of Corrections, et. al.
CLA. No.: 04-165 gl
I write pursuant to the Court’s Scheduling Order to provide an interim status report.
Based upon an amended complaint, all additional parties have now been added to his
_ matter. All the defendants, except for Property Advisory Group, Inc., and Sue Rirnmel one their
employees, have filed answers in this matter. The last two defendants have iiled a motion_to
dismiss, which is presently being briefed.
_ The parties have been conducting ongoing negotiations with Magistrate Judge Thynge.
The defendants up until this point have asked me to rfrain ’rl·om any deposition discovery
pending the results of that mediation. The parties have exchanged written discovery.
I do see the possibility, given the strategy of Property Advisory Group/Sue Rimrnel in
seeking a motion to dismiss, that they may not participate or will not have conducted discovery
by the discovery cut off. Given the fact that they were added by an amendment to the complaint,
l they may well seek additional time to take discovery in this matter.
If your Honor requires any additional information, please feel free to contact me.
. Respectfully, .
