Motion to Set Aside Default [Docket No. 63] is GRANTED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT Largaespada's Motion to Set Aside Default shall be filed

no later than March 31, 2006 and shall be noticed for hearing on May 2, 2006 at 1:00 p.m. Defendant

and Cross-Defendant Cervantez shall file her opposition to the Motion to Set Aside Default, if any, no

later than April 11, 2006 and Largaespada shall file her reply, if any, no later than April 18, 2006.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT the April 4, 2006 hearing on Cervantez' Motion for Default

the Court will notify the parties that no appearance is necessary.

reach an agreement that default should not have been entered and that the instant case should proceed

on its merits, the parties shall promptly file the appropriate stipulation and/or the necessary documents

with the Court.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT if this case is still pending after the May 2, 2006 hearing,

the parties shall appear for a telephonic Case Management Conference on Thursday, May 11, 2006

at 2:30 p.m. The parties shall meet and confer prior to the conference and shall prepare a joint Case

Management Conference Statement which shall be filed no later than May 5, 2006. Counsel for
