including, October 16, 2006, so that the parties may finalize

their settlement agreement and file such agreement with the

Court. 

On August 18, 2006, upon joint motion by the parties, the

Court stayed all proceedings in this matter so that the parties

could explore the possibility of settlement. The parties have

since reached a settlement in principle but have not had

opportunity to draft a formal settlement agreement and

anticipate that it may take up to two weeks to finalize such an

agreement, to obtain the necessary approvals within the

Department of Justice, and then to file such an agreement with

the Court. Accordingly, the parties wish to extend the stay in

this matter until October 16, 2006, so that a settlement

agreement may be finalized and filed with the Court.

Dated: September 29, 2006
