Cosby's motion to dismiss will deal with "any issues that by that time have not been resolved through conference" between the sides, says the brief.
Lawyers for the accusers would have until March 20 to file a reply to the motion to dismiss. Cosby's lawyers would then have until April 8 to respond to that.
