WHEREAS, on May 24, 2006, a protective order was entered in this action which 

governs the exchange of Confidential and Highly Confidential Information. 

WHEREAS the parties exchanged formal discovery demands on June 2 and June 6, 

2006. 

WHEREAS on April 10, 2006, plaintiff TeraRecon, Inc. filed a motion to dismiss 

certain of the counterclaims filed by defendants and counterclaimants Fovia, Inc., Fovia, 

Medical, Inc. and George Buyanovsky, which motion was granted with leave to amend on 

July 6, 2006; counter-claimants filed Second Amended Counterclaims on July 20, 2006, 

and plaintiff TeraRecon, Inc. moved to dismiss certain of the claims of the Second 

Amended Counterclaim on August 7, 2006, which motion is set for hearing September 22, 

2006. Consequently, the scope of the pleadings in this action has not finally been 

determined. 

WHEREAS on June 8, 2006, the parties appeared for mediation before Philip 

Gregory, Esq. 

WHEREAS at the mediation, it appeared that the prospects for fruitful settlement 

discussions or further mediation would be enhanced substantially if the parties first were to 

identify and exchange evidence that would assist each side in better evaluating the claims 

asserted in this litigation. 

WHEREAS further telephonic conferences with the mediator were held on June 16 

and June 27, 2006 in which details of a proposed procedure and the evidence to be 

exchanged were discussed. 

WHEREAS the parties engaged in a further, lengthy settlement meeting on August 

22, 2006, at which the parties agreed to an exchange of evidence that they believe may 

facilitate settlement of the action, in anticipation of a further settlement meeting, 

conditional upon the Court’s agreeing to continue the discovery, pretrial and trial dates in 

this action, as requested herein. 

WHEREAS the parties believe that, after the agreed evidence has been exchanged 

and the parties have had a chance to evaluate that evidence, further settlement discussions

may be productive, either through direct discussions between the parties or through further 

mediation, and obviate the need for formal discovery or further proceedings in this case. 

WHEREAS a continuance of the pretrial and trial dates are necessary to allow the 

parties to engage in the settlement process without having simultaneously to engage in 

extensive formal discovery, that otherwise would be necessary in light of the existing 

October 13, 2006 cutoff for fact discovery
