WHEREAS, Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification is due to be filed on July 30,

WHEREAS, the parties advised the Court by Joint Stipulation dated July 23, 2007 

that the parties had resumed mediation and made substantial progress in their attempts to resolve 

this matter;

Hughes, Esq., of Rogers & Hardin LLP, Atlanta, Georgia, who is available to speak with the 

Court about the progress of the mediation at the Court's convenience at his office number, (404) 

420-4622 should the Court be interested in speaking with him; 

WHEREAS, the parties and their counsel have reached substantive agreements on 

the monetary terms of the settlement and agree that a brief extension of the class certification

resolve this matter.

will not unduly delay processing this action. 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the parties through their 

respective counsel of record, that the parties propose the following revised schedule for class

All other dates are adjourned until further Court Order.
