said cross-complaint and filed a cross-complaint of its own against SEARS. 

The parties attended an Early Neutral Evaluation session on December 14, 2004, wherein

the Plaintiffs settled the matter in all respects. Pursuant to such ADR efforts and settlements

reached, Plaintiffs dismissed SIMON with prejudice on February 25, 2005, and dismissed

Defendant SEARS with prejudice on March 11, 2005. As such, Plaintiffs are no longer a part of

this action.

With respect to the cross-complaints between SIMON and SEARS, these Defendants

were to come to an understanding as to who is responsible for making access improvements. 

Due to limitations set by the City of Santa Rosa, SEARS alleges they did not have control to

make said access changes until their permit was recently granted. The parties wish to settle their

differences. A Pretrial Conferences is set for August 15, 2005. The trial is set for September 6,

2005. The parties have agreed to dismiss these actions without prejudice.
