ORDER 

 The Court hereby adopts the stipulation as noted above and VACATES all hearings and 

filing deadlines as set in the Pretrial Scheduling Order. However, the length of time the parties 

have requested for the filing of dispositional documents far exceeds the time limit anticipated by 

Local Rule 16-160. Therefore, a status conference will be set for Friday, March16, 2007 at 

10:00 a.m. The parties are to submit a joint status report no later than March 6, 2007 informing 

the court on the progress of settlement conditions and an updated estimate for the date of 

completion.
