In a letter dated November 17, 2006, counsel for McM Group

requested that it be excused from the foregoing Order to

personally appear at the Settlement Conference. On that same

day, this Court issued an Order denying McM Group’s request. See

Order, November 17, 2006, Docket No. 70.

At the Settlement Conference, a less than global settlement

was reached due directly to McM Group’s failure to personally

appear with full settlement authority in violation of this

Court’s express order otherwise.

Consequently, the Court hereby issues an Order to Show Cause

re Sanctions for McM Group’s failure to comply with the court’s

order to produce a representative with full settlement authority

at the Settlement Conference. McM Group shall appear for the

hearing on this matter on January 8, 2007, at 9:00 a.m., in

Courtroom 3.

Further, the matter of David Lasic, Jr. v. United States of

America is stayed. The Court, however, retains jurisdiction on

the settlement agreement reached at the Settlement Conference. 

Accordingly, the only remaining issues of liability are against

McM Group.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: December 12, 2006
