The court would like to hear counsel's views on the impact of this decision on, and a potential trial schedule for, the instant litigation. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the telephone conference scheduled for June 18, 2012, at 2:00 p.m., is RESET to June 6, 2012, at 11:30 a.m. The court will place the telephone call.
