PRINCIPAL LIFE INSURANCE CO. SUBSIDIARIES v. U.S

FRANCIS ALLEGRA, Judge

On February 2, 2009, the parties filed a joint motion to enlarge the time to file a joint preliminary status report regarding certain amendments to the complaints filed in these consolidated cases. A joint preliminary status report was previously filed on May 30, 2008, and, as there is no provision in the RCFC for filing a joint preliminary status report after filing an answer to an amended complaint, this motion is hereby DENIED. Accordingly, the parties shall file a joint status report on May 13, 2009, pursuant to the court's order on October 21, 2008.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
