Plaintiffs’ first amended complaint was filed on March 7, 2006, and was served on both 

defendants on March 15, 2006. The summons was returned executed on March 22, 2006. The 

defendants have not filed a responsive pleading, but the parties commenced settlement negotiations 

which contemplate a stipulation for entry of judgment. For this reason, plaintiffs have not requested 

entry of default against the defendants. 

Settlement discussions stalled during the summer months but have resumed, defendants 

having made their latest offer on August 28, 2006. Plaintiffs request that the case management 

conference be continued for 60 days, to a date convenient to the court, to allow the parties time to 

resolve this matter by settlement.
