matter entirely.” (Doc. 213 at 213) They request 120 days to finalize their agreement. Id. While the 

Court applauds their efforts toward compromise, there is no explanation why the settlement terms 

cannot be finalized more quickly. Thus, the Court ORDERS:

1. The status conference currently set on December 12, 2016 is CONTINUED to 

January 13, 2017at 8:45 a.m. Telephonic appearances via CourtCall are authorized. No later than 

January 6, 2017, counsel SHALL file a joint report setting forth their progress toward finalizing the 

settlement terms and any impediments to doing so;
