Defendants.

----oo0oo----

On March 14, 2006, counsel for Plaintiff Adeline S.

Counsel for all parties have now filed a Stipulated Motion

for Conditional Dismissal.

The parties points out that given Plaintiff Adeline Greenwell’s

death, and the fact that no successor Plaintiff has been

substituted, filing any dismissal on Plaintiff’s behalf is

procedurally problematic. Moreover, given the complex settlement

agreement reached between the parties following mediation, the

parties request that this Court retain jurisdiction over this

matter until the terms of that settlement have been fully

satisfied. While they request that a conditional dismissal be

made, they have provided no such dismissal to the Court for

consideration.

Although the parties have asked that their Motion for

Conditional Dismissal be heard on May 1, 2006, that Motion is

continued to June 5, 2006 at 9:00 a.m. in order to afford more

time for the parties to resolve the terms of their settlement

beforehand. Not less than two weeks prior to June 5, 2006, the

parties shall submit a Joint Status Report addressing the

following issues: 1) the terms of any proposed conditional

dismissal, including the amount of time proposed for the Court to

retain jurisdiction, along with a draft order memorializing same;

2) the parties’ current position on appointment of a successor

plaintiff for purposes of executing a dismissal of this matter;

and 3) a statement summarizing the extent to which the terms of

settlement have been satisfied, and what issues remain

outstanding.

DATED: March 27, 2006
