On September 19, 2006, the Court held a Status Conference in this matter, at which the 

parties advised the Court that further negotiations concerning possible resolution of some or all 

issues in this case would be appropriate. In the interest of facilitating such negotiations, the Court 

now HEREBY ORDERS: 

1. The parties shall continue to discuss the possibility of resolving some or all of the 

issues in this case without further litigation. 

2. The Court will hold a further Status Conference on October 19, 2006, at 12:00 p.m. 

PST, at which time the parties shall report to the Court as to the progress of their negotiations and 

whether, in their view, further time for negotiations is warranted or whether the Court should set a 

schedule to complete briefing on Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary Judgment, the Federal Defendants’ 

Cross Motion to Dismiss or, in the alternative, Motion for Voluntary Remand, or other motions.
