 The parties to the Shaw Action requested a stay to complete the documentation of the settlement 

agreement and move for approval in the Bankruptcy Court. Subsequently, the parties to the 

consolidated action, Indian Harbor Insurance Company v. Willock, et al., Case No. C 04-2615 

JSW, also moved for a stay pending the ruling of the Bankruptcy Court to allow the parties to that 

action to attempt a negotiated resolution of that case if the settlement of the Shaw Action is 

approved. On June 23, 2005, this Court entered orders staying both actions.
