why make a tentative date firm if you intend to dismiss? Tentative can remain tentative as long as need be because its just that... tentative. No reason to make it firm at this point unless the ruling is not to dismiss.

The same order says that the motion to dismiss is "under submission," meaning that the judge hasn't decided it yet. So reading anything into the scheduling order is premature.
