ORDER; in keeping with the 5/25/06 order of the assigned district judge, the plaintiff may pursue additional discovery in its effort to serve the defendants identified above. In doing so, the plaintiff must recraft its discovery demands so that they are narrowly tailored and focused soley on the information that informed the defendants' interrogatory answers. Operating in this way will enable the plaintiff to uncover facts that either support its claim that the defendants' interrogatory answers are suspect, or debunk it. Furthermore, such narrowly tailored discovery demands should bring to a close the controversy over the ability, if any, of the defendants to facilitate the plaintiff's effort to serve Ozerla, Star Port and Grassick.
