Pursuant to Civil L. R. 7-1(5) and 7-12, the parties hereby stipulate and agree

that all proceedings, including discovery, in the above-captioned action shall be stayed

pending the outcome of settlement negotiations.

Following the settlement conference held on August 30, 2006 before Magistrate

Judge Elizabeth D. Laporte and pursuant to the Magistrate’s ensuing Order [Doc. #16],

plaintiffs submitted a written settlement offer to defendant on September 13, 2006. 

Defendant is now processing the offer in accordance with the standard procedures of

the Department of Justice.

To permit negotiations on settlement to move forward and promote the potential

settlement of this case, the parties request the Court now stay all proceedings, including

discovery. If the case settles, a stay will avoid unnecessary expenditure of substantial

party and judicial resources on discovery and trial.

In accord with Magistrate Judge Laporte’s Order [Doc. #16], during the stay,

defendant will keep the Magistrate informed of any developments. In addition, if, at any

time, it appears that reasonable progress towards settlement is not being made, the

parties will contact the Court to reinitiate discovery and trial of this case.
