It appears to the court that DHR’s motion may well be amenable to resolution in whole or

in part by agreement of counsel. It is therefore ORDERED that counsel for the respective parties

and for the non-movant shall confer within eleven (11) days and shall attempt to resolve their

differences or reduce the areas of dispute regarding the requested information. Because the court

believes that the parties are able to resolve the matter, it DIRECTS the Clerk to

ADMINISTRATIVELY TERMINATE the motion. (Doc. # 41). 

In the event the parties do not resolve the dispute during their conference, moving counsel

shall call the chambers of the undersigned and notify the court of the need to resolve the matter by

order. If such notification is made, the court will receive argument and consider the matter further.

DONE and ORDERED this 17th day of November, 2005.
