process of preparing a written settlement agreement agreeable to all parties.

Pursuant to the Court’s scheduling order, the parties’ cross-motions for summary 

judgment is set for hearing on November 18, 2005. Plaintiff filed her opening brief on 

September 23, 2005. Defendant’s opening brief and opposition brief is to be filed and served on 

or before October 14, 2005; Plaintiff’s opposition and reply brief is to be filed and served on or

before October 28, 2005; and Defendant’s reply brief to be filed and served on or before 

November 4, 2005.

In light of the settlement reached, the parties respectfully request that the hearing on the 

parties’ cross-motions for summary judgment, and the associated briefing schedule, be continued 

for 60 days in order for the parties to finalize the settlement agreement and thereafter file a 

request for dismissal with the Court. Good cause exists for the continued briefing schedule and 

hearing date so that the parties need not expend unnecessary time and cost preparing further 

briefing in this settled matter.
