IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHARLES H. LEWIS, et al.,

Plaintiff, CIV-S-03-2646 WBS KJM (GGH)

vs.

ROBERT D. RUSSELL, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

AND RELATED COUNTER, CROSS

AND THIRD PARTY CLAIMS.

_______________________________/

By order of April 14, 2005, litigation in the case was stayed in lieu of a complex

settlement process. The parties undertook to settle the case in phases. However, after much

good work has been done, including an investigation and joint remediation efforts, the

undersigned regrets to inform the district judge that the process has broken down with little or no

prospect of being successfully reinvigorated. The parties, including those who were not

denominated “participating parties,” have irreconcilable differences about the propriety, source

and amounts of funding for the settlement process which makes continuation of the settlement

process infeasible.
