Plaintiffs hereby request that this court continue the case management conference scheduled 

for March 10, 2006 at 1:30 p.m. to May 5, 2006. Defendant has not yet answered Plaintiffs 

complaint because the parties are still in settlement proceedings and Defendant continues to collect

information necessary to resolve this matter. Therefore, no pretrial scheduling or case management 

need be completed at this time. Plaintiffs further request that all other deadlines set in this action be 

continued, for the same reasons, as follows: 

1) Parties are to meet and confer regarding initial disclosures, early settlement, ADR 

process selection, and discovery plan by April 21, 2006; 

2) Parties are to file a Joint ADR Certification with Stipulation to ADR process or 

Notice of Need for ADR Phone Conference on April 21, 2006; 

3) Initial disclosures and case management statements are due by April 28, 2006. 

Dated: February 16, 2006 Respectfully submitted,
