ORDER


 This case was assigned to me on December 7, 2006
[3278]. On December 19, 2006, the plaintiffs filed petitions for
certiorari, seeking Supreme Court review of the Court of Appeals
decisions removing Judge Lamberth from the case, 455 F.3d 317,
and vacating Judge Lamberth’s IT injunction, 455 F.3d 301. 
Notwithstanding the pendency of the cert. petitions, plaintiffs’
counsel urged in open court on the following day that I not wait
for a ruling by the Supreme Court and that I set a July 2007
“trial date.” Government counsel objected to the setting of
