Safar’s motion to dismiss (Docket No. 7) and the impact of the

DotNext’s answer and amended counterclaim (Docket No. 29) on

plaintiff’s motion to dismiss (Docket No. 19), is unclear. 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that by July 9, 2010 the parties shall

meet and confer and thereafter file a joint writing clarifying

which motions still need Court resolution. The parties shall

also discuss whether they are not better off using their

resources in an early settlement effort, as opposed to a

pleading war. The Court is prepared to schedule an early ADR

at the parties request.
