No. CIV-04-595-PHX-MHM

ORDER

This case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge David K. Duncan for a

settlement conference. Judge Duncan has filed a first and second Report and

Recommendation (Doc. 153 and 155) which indicate that this case has settled as to all

Defendants except for Defendants Joel David and Cindy David. The first Report states that

the appearing parties reached an agreement but final settlement will require approval of the

settlement agreement by the probate court with jurisdiction over Plaintiff's estate, which is

in Alaska, and the payment of the settlement monies. The Magistrate Judge has further

recommended that this litigation be stayed as to Plaintiff's claims against the settling

Defendants pending the approval of the settlement by the probate court and pending complete

satisfaction of the payment obligations pursuant to the settlement agreement. The probate

court's review may take some time (in no event less than 30 days). Upon approval of the
