COME NOW, Plaintiffs and Defendants and jointly request that the Court continue 

the August 13, 2007 Status Conference in these matters. In support of said stipulated request, 

the parties state as follows: 

1. By Order of this Court dated May 14, 2007, there is a Status Conference in 

this matter set for August 13, 2007. 

2. As noted in previous Joint Status Reports submitted to this Court, the parties 

to this litigation have been engaged in mediated settlement negotiations at the direction of 

Professor Eric D. Green, principally in Boston, Massachusetts. The parties have essentially 

concluded their mediated negotiations, agreeing on the basic terms for dozens of single-state 

settlements as well as two separate settlements pertaining to claimants along federal land 

grant railroad routes. The settlements also include a California state-wide settlement 

agreement. 

3. The parties are in the process of reducing the dozens of agreements to writing. 

Professor Green has scheduled a final session for August 6 and 7 in Massachusetts, at which 

time the parties hope to resolve all remaining substantive and drafting issues, subject to final 

client approval. Thereafter, the documentation will be completed and all settlement 

agreements will be presented to a single federal court in Massachusetts for preliminary 

approval, in a pending matter styled as Kingsborough v. Sprint Communications Co., L.P., et 

al., Civil Action No. 07-10651 MLW. 

4. Provided the settlement agreements are ultimately approved and settlement 

classes are certified, the parties intend to dismiss all pending matters involving claims subject 

to the settlement agreements, including the matters pending before this Court.
