AMENDED STAY ORDER
Counsel for the parties request that, due to the need for additional preparation, trial of these cases be scheduled for the week of May 17, 2004. This request for such an extraordinary delay is contrary to the Commission's Strategic Plan adopted pursuant to the Government Performance and Requests Act of 1993, and therefore cannot be accommodated. Some of these cases have already been docketed for more than one year. Accordingly the parties are directed to hold the dates February 17, 2004 to February 19, 2004, open for trial of these cases. The Stay Order issued November 19, 2003, will remain in effect.
