This case settled in principle several months ago. Since

the date of its most recent October 12, 2005 scheduling order,

the parties have continued with their efforts in obtaining all

requisite signatures on this action’s settlement documents. Due

to the amount of time required in obtaining the signatures of all

of this action’s parties or party representatives, however, an

additional extension of this matter’s pre-trial and trial dates

is necessary.

 Based on the above, the parties stipulate to extend the

deadlines provided for in the Court’s October 12, 2005 scheduling

order. Based on the parties’ estimated length of time required

to obtain all requisite signatures and formally resolve the case

in its entirety, the parties stipulate to continuing

the pre-trial conference and trial dates approximately ninety

(90) days. The parties also stipulate to holding a scheduling

conference with the Court about remaining pre-trial deadlines

should settlement unexpectedly fail. The parties therefore

propose the following new schedule, and request that the court

endorse it by way of formal order:

ITEM (prior deadline in parentheses) DATE DUE

Pre-Trial Conference Date (8-14-06) November 20, 2006

At 11:00 a.m. 

Trial Date (10-24-06) February 13, 2007

At 1:00 p.m.
