On May 10, 2006, the court issued an order requiring respondents to submit supplemental

briefing on Claim K, except to the extent such claim has been dismissed, and Claim L. 

Respondents filed their supplemental brief on May 23, 2006 (Doc. 201), and petitioner filed a

response on June 2, 2006 (Doc. 205). Hearing on these pending matters was continued to June

13, 2006. 

In light of the recent re-assignment of this case to the undersigned, the

voluminous record, and the number of issues involved, the court finds that these matters are

appropriate for submission on the papers currently on file without oral argument at this time. 

See Local Rule 78-230(h). If necessary, the court will set a time for oral argument, either sua

sponte or on motion of a party, upon further order of the court. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hearing currently set for June 13, 2006,

remains on calendar to discuss case management issues and budget issues on an ex parte basis

thereafter. Counsel may appear telephonically. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: June 8, 2006.
