Conference in the above-referenced case. For reasons articulated more thoroughly

a date and time for the first of these telephonic settlement calls.

2. By October 14, 2005, plaintiff's counsel must e-file a statement (with input

time in which to conduct settlement conversations with Magistrate Judge Spero or

(iii) informs the Court that (at least at this juncture of the case) further settlement

conversations would likely prove unproductive and therefore requests the Court to

conduct a further Case Management Conference. If the parties choose the latter

option, the Court will promptly schedule a further Case Management Conference.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
