ORDER

In compliance with the Court’s Order Setting Settlement Conference,

docket #53, the Court entertained a conference call with counsel regarding whether the

August 4, 2008 settlement conference would be a futile act, resulting in a waste of time

and money and inconsistent with Rule 1, Fed.R.Civ.P. Counsel were directed to

communicate to the undersigned’s judicial assistant no later than Thursday, July 31, 2008

whether or not they agreed to proceed with the August 4, 2008 Settlement Conference. 

Counsel for Defendant called the undersigned’s staff on July 31, 2008 to advise both

counsel agree that the settlement conference should be vacated. Further, counsel for

Plaintiff has e-mailed his written letter of August 1, 2004, confirming his desire to vacate

the August 4, 2008 settlement conference and expressing his frustration with the

Government, not Government’s local counsel.

Accordingly,
