500 Washington Avenue South – Suite 4000 

Minneaapolis, Minnesota, 55415 

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

the December 3, 2007 Status Conference in these matters. In support of said stipulated 

request, the parties state as follows: 

1. By Order of this Court dated July 26, 2007 there is a Status Conference in this 

matter set for December 3, 2007. 

2. As previously set forth in Plaintiffs’ and Defendants’ previous reports to this 

Court, the parties herein are in the process of attempting to finalize settlements that would 

dispose of the claims asserted in this action. The settlements would entail 48 separate 

agreements. 

3. Counsel are in the process of preparing documentation for each of the 

settlements, developing a program for providing notice, by mail and by publication, to class 

members, creating forms by which class members can submit claims for settlement benefits, 

working out procedures for implementation of a claims process, and obtaining final corporate 

approval for the agreements. 

4. The parties intend to pursue judicial approval of all settlements in the United 

States District Court for the District of Massachusetts in the pending matter styled as 

Kingsborough v. Sprint Communications Co., L.P., et al., Case No. 07-CV-10651, and have 

so informed the Kingsborough court. 

5. The Kingsborough court held hearings on September 12, 2007, October 11, 

2007 and November 8, 2007, to discuss the settlements and the procedures by which they 

would be submitted for approval. The court has set another hearing for November 27, 2007. 

6. Provided the settlement agreements are ultimately executed and 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.
