 By Order dated 3/11/08 (Doc. #65), the Court directed the parties to arrange for a 

settlement conference before Magistrate-Judge Brazil in April. Both sides agree that they are not 

in a position to discuss settlement, and that indeed, settlement discussions would not be fruitful, 

pending this Court’s resolution of outstanding discovery disputes. In addition, plaintiff intends 

to move to substitute a new defendant for one of the DOEs, and defendants may yet oppose such 

motion. On April 7, 2008, counsel Rosenfeld contacted Magistrate-Judge Brazil’s chambers, and 

was informed that the parties would need to seek an order relieving them of the current MSC 

referral order, before the MSC could be taken off calendar. 

 Accordingly, the parties, through their undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate and request 

that the settlement conference be taken off calendar, pending resolution of these matters, after 

which the parties, with the Court, will discuss rescheduling. 

Respectfully Submitted, 

GERALD SINGLETON, Esq.
