2. All assets of the Defendant companies are secured by a lien in favor of a lender. 

The principals of the Defendant companies are working with the lender to sell various pieces of 

equipment to pay off what is owed, while retaining some funds to pay other debts including the 

debt owed to the Plaintiffs. 

3. Both parties are in general agreement to enter into a hybrid Stipulated Judgment 

and Settlement Agreement, working with the lender to have certain amounts paid to Plaintiffs in 

settlement of a portion of the claims made herein. The terms of this agreement are being discussed 

at the current time. 

4. The parties participated in an ADR telephone conference on March 2, 2010, to 

discuss how to move forward. The ADR staff attorney was in agreement that a referral to 

mediation to take place at a later date in the event that the matter does not resolve is the best way 

to handle this matter. The recommendation to the Court should be filed by the ADR attorney in the 

next day or two. 

5. Based on the foregoing, there are no issues to discuss at the upcoming Case 

Management Conference. Accordingly, the parties respectfully request that it be continued for 90-

120 days to allow this matter to either resolve informally, or to allow the parties to participate in 

mediation if required.
