2. The Court orders counsel for all parties to confer by conference call 

about the scheduling issues before 30 January 2015 and file a joint status 

report by 6 February 2015. 

3. On mediation: the Court doesn't order a settlement conference unless 

all parties want one. It can be done by the Magistrate Judge on the case (Ray, 

J.) or by a private mediator, at the parties' election. Address this issue in the 

February report too. 

4. On the hospital's request to intervene: the Court directs MMIC to file 

an addendum to its responding papers. Does MMIC agree that, under Ark. 

Code Ann.§ 23-79-209, if Dr. Hasik prevails in securing this Court's judgment 

that MMIC owes coverage for the Ray and Wilson cases, then Dr. Hasik will 

be entitled to recover reasonable attorney's fees incurred (either by him or the 

hospital) in defending those cases? If not, why not? Two-page addendum 

due by 27 January 2015. 

So Ordered.
