2. The associated deadlines to submit a trial brief, objections to exhibits, motions in limine, proposed voir dire, proposed jury instructions, and optional opposition to trial brief shall also be continued to correspond with the June 26, 2018 trial date, as set forth in the Court's Final Pretrial Order (ECF No. 61).

3. Discovery is re-opened for Plaintiff to propound one round of written discovery to each of the two Defendants and conduct depositions. Discovery cut-off shall be June 18, 2018.

4. An Order and Writ of Habeas Corpus Ad Testificandum was issued on March 9, 2018 (ECF No. 62). The writ shall be amended to reflect the new trial date of June 26, 2018, at 9:00 a.m. Plaintiff's present custodian shall provide for Plaintiff's presence at trial pursuant to the amended writ of habeas corpus ad testificandum to be issued. All parties shall take any steps necessary to facilitate execution of said writ. The parties and Plaintiff's custodian are cautioned that sanctions will be imposed for failure to comply with court orders.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
