MOTION FOR DISMISSAL

On June 28, 2007, Bruce Smith, counsel for Plaintiff, and Richard

inappropriate to impose sanctions.

A joint motion for dismissal of this case, signed by counsel of

record and all parties, must be filed no later than July 26, 2007. A

proposed order on the joint motion for dismissal must be e-mailed to the
