daughter Kassie Kientz. In its Request, the moving parties ask the Court to set a status

conference to discuss settlement-related issues. 

The three cases before the Court are hotly contested with numerous claims and legal

issues to be resolved. It is anticipated that trials of the three cases will be lengthy, costly, and

will expend extensive court and party resources. As a result, the moving parties have

expressed a desire to participate in a private mediation in an effort to resolve the remaining

outstanding issues. 

To date, discovery has been completed and three motions for summary judgment have

been ruled upon by the Court. Three more summary judgment motions currently are

pending, with replies filed on October 9, 2009. Additionally, counsel for Jamieson moved

to withdraw from the case (Doc. 188), and this motion was granted by the Court on October

13, 2009 (Doc. 193). In light of the complexity of the case and the recent withdrawal of

Jamieson’s counsel, the Court will grant the parties’ request for a status conference. Issues

related to informal resolution of this case will be discussed at this time. 

Accordingly, 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED setting a status conference before the Honorable

Stephen M. McNamee for Monday, November 30, 2009 at 3:00 p.m. Counsel for all

parties shall be in attendance at the status conference. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Kathy Jamieson may appear telephonically in

light of her Texas residence and in pro per status. Kathy Jamieson shall telephone Judge

McNamee’s chambers at (602) 322-7555 no later than 2:55 p.m. on November 30, 2009. If

Kathy Jamieson secures new counsel prior to the status conference, counsel shall appear in

person at the status conference. 

DATED this 29th day of October, 2009.
