ORDER

This matter came on calendar today for a status conference regarding evidentiary issues on

At the close of the conference, the court directed counsel to meet and confer as to witnesses, 

exhibits, and stipulations, and to report to the court within ninety days, after which a hearing date 

will be set. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 

1. No later than July 1, 2016, the parties shall file a Joint Status Report, no more than five 

pages in length, on the evidence to be presented at the evidentiary hearing and any related 

matters.
