by arranging a one-line conference call and adding the Court at (559) 499-5680; and

5. ORDERS counsel for Connecticut General to contact the American Arbitration

Association (“AAA”) to request that a knowledgeable AAA representative appear at the

October 13, 2006 hearing to address assignment of an arbitrator. The AAA

representative may appear at the hearing by telephone and by conference call with the

parties.

This Court admonishes Ms. Davis that this federal court action remains stayed in favor of

the pending AAA arbitration and that the arbitration will continue to proceed unless this Court

orders otherwise. This Court further admonishes Ms. Davis that this Court will dismiss this

action, on motion of Connecticut General or this Court’s own motion, if Ms. Davis disobeys this

Court’s orders and/or obstructs arbitration of Ms. Davis’ claims. See Local Rule 11-110.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
