)

vs. )

) ORDER

John Craig VanKirk, et ux., )

)

Defendants. ) )

Pending before the Court is the parties' Stipulation to Vacate Oral

Argument set for Monday, June 11, 2007 at 2:00 P.M., filed June 1, 2007,

wherein the parties state that they want to vacate the hearing on the defendants'

pending motion to dismiss (doc. #2) until such time as they decide to re-schedule

the hearing because they have been engaged in settlement discussions and

because defendant John Craig VanKirk died on May 28, 2007. While the Court

will vacate the hearing, the Court is not willing to let the motion to dismiss simply

stay dormant unless and until the parties decide otherwise and will thus deem the

motion to dismiss to be withdrawn without prejudice to being reinstated upon

motion of a party or by the Court sua sponte.
