filed by this Court on August 19, 2005. This Court appointed

Chase Riveland as special master on December 16, 2005. Mr.

in accordance with the Order of Reference, except that he shall

be compensated at the rate of $90 per hour for travel time.

Deputy Special Master Virginia Morrison shall be compensated at

the same rates as Mr. Riveland. Deputy Special Master Nancy M.

Campbell shall be compensated at the rate of $180 per hour for

services performed in accordance with the Order of Reference,

except that she shall be compensated at the rate of $90 per hour

for travel time. All reasonable expenses incurred by the

special master in performing the duties under the Order of

Reference shall be reimbursed as costs of the mastership.

On February 3, 2006 this court directed defendants to

deposit the sum of $500,000.00 with the Clerk of the Court, said

amount to be invested in an interest-bearing account. A

substantial part of those funds have now been expended and a

significant amount of work remains to be done by the special

master. 

Accordingly, good cause appearing, it is hereby ordered

that: 

1. Within thirty days of the date of this order

defendants shall deposit with the Clerk of the Court a

second interim payment of costs in the amount of

$500,000.00 which amount shall be invested in the

interest-bearing account previously opened for this

action; and

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve a copy of
