Plaintiff Lorine Hui Hong Liang and Defendant John E. Potter, Post Master General, jointly 

submit this Pretrial Statement pursuant to FRCP Rule 26(f) and Local Rule 16(9)(a). 

 Pursuant to this Court’s order, the parties appeared at a court-sponsored mediation on 

January 12, 2010, before Eileen Barker. The parties have reached a settlement in principle and 

the confirming documentation is being prepared for the Court’s signature. The parties wish to 

thank Ms. Barker who ably conducted the mediation to conclusion. The parties anticipate that 

the stipulation of settlement will be filed before the end of this week therefore precluding the 

need for the scheduled case management conference. 

 Dated: January 20, 2010 Respectfully submitted,
