ORDER VACATING EARLY NEUTRAL

EVALUATION CONFERENCE; SETTING

CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

The Court has set an Early Neutral Evaluation Conference in this case for February 20, 2007 in

accordance with the Local Rules. In response to the Court's Order, plaintiff's counsel has submitted a

conference statement with regard to the particulars of the claim and their current settlement position. It

appropriate.
