These documents apply to discovery for the Motion To Dismiss, and then cover what the DOJ lists as their reason to dismiss. And the argument by Orly as to why they should not dismiss.

Any “Limited” discovery is ony allowed as it relates to the Oct 5 Motion to dismiss...

Now..whew..that makes sense.

My take is that the first document is an order issued by Judge Carter that the matter of Discovery in this case (not just that which concerns the Motion to Dismiss) by referred to the Magistrate Judge Nakazado (sp?)

The second doc. is an unsigned “Proposed” version of an order that DOJ filed moving all plaintiff discovery be restricted to only issues directly related to the motion to dismiss. If I’m not mistaken, this is on the docket, but it has not been put into effect with yet by the magistrate judge.

The Third doc is the full text of the motion by the defense/DOJ that plaintiff discovery be limited for now to include only items directly related to the defense's motion to dismiss.

Yes? No? Help?
