ORDER FOLLOWING SETTLEMENT

STATUS CONFERENCE

On May 30, 2007, the Court convened a Settlement Status Conference in the above entitled

action. Appearing were Scott Harris, Esq. on behalf of plaintiffs and Cindy Cipriani, Esq. on behalf of

defendant.

It appears that the guardian ad litem status is in place and that plaintiff has provided its expert

letter to the defense for evaluation. Defendant will proceed to a Rule 35 examination and further

analysis of the liability aspect of the case. With that done, refocusing on settlement will be the next

step. It is likely to take 60 days to posture the case for a further settlement hearing, and based thereon

the Court sets a telephonic Settlement Status Conference for July 30, 2007 at 9:30 a.m. Plaintiffs’

counsel will make arrangements for the conference call.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: May 30, 2007
