Re: Priddis Music, Inc. v. Trans World Entertainment Corp.

No. 05-CV-491 (DNH/DRH)

Dear Counsel:

To ensure that the above-referenced action is proceeding in accordance with the

Uniform Pretrial Scheduling Order issued in this matter, you are reminded that the period
for conducting discovery is approximately half over. The discovery deadline is June 1,
2006. This Court intends to adhere to this deadline and the other Rule 16 deadlines
and will not, absent extraordinary circumstances, entertain any requests or
stipulations for extensions.

You are further advised that inasmuch as the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure
provide that responses to interrogatories, admissions, and production of documents shall
be provided within 30 days of the discovery request, any such request must be made at
least 30 days before the discovery deadlines. See N.D.N.Y.L.R. 16.2. In addition, all
expert disclosure (including disclosure regarding any treating physicians) must be made
prior to the close of discovery. See L.R. 26.3.

Given the impending deadlines, you should bring discovery to a conclusion and
consider whether you wish to make any motions. Please remember that motions must be
filed and served on or before the motion deadline.
