3. Plaintiff’s counsel understands that although a settlement has been reached it will 

take approximately 8 weeks from the present date to finalize the settlement, in 

light of certain administrative procedures and practices of the defendant. 

4. Because of the intervening holiday season, and the administrative and procedural 

practices of the defendant, the parties respectfully request an extension of the time 

sufficient to finalize the settlement prior to filing any dismissal documents. 

WHEREFORE, the parties respectfully request that the deadline for filing dismissal 

documents, currently set for December 12, 2005, be continued until February 10, 2006, or to a 

date that the court deems proper under the circumstances, to give the parties sufficient time to 

complete the acts necessary to finalize the settlement.
