STIP. AND [PROPOSED] ORDER FOR CONTINUANCE OF DATE OF INITIAL DISCLOSURES AND STATUS CONFERENCE

On November 1, 2005, this Court issued an order requiring the parties’ initial disclosures 

to be served on or before November 11, 2005; 

On November 4, 2005, this Court set the matter for a status conference to be held on 

November 18, 2005, at 10:00 a.m.; and 

The parties’ efforts to reach a negotiated resolution are active and ongoing. The parties 

require additional time to work out the terms of a settlement. The parties agree that it is in both of 

their interests to avoid the time and expense of preparing initial disclosures. The parties also 

agree that it is in their interest, and in the interest of the Court, to reset the status conference 

currently set for November 18, 2005, in order to allow the parties sufficient time to conclude the 

matter without further consumption of judicial resources. 

On November 10, 2005, Omega’s counsel contacted the Court and obtained approval from 

Courtroom Deputy Vine to request that the status conference be reset to December 2, 2005, at 

10:00 a.m. 

Based on the foregoing, Omega and Granite City jointly request that the Court issue an 

order requiring the parties to serve initial disclosures no later than December 2, 2005, and an 

order continuing the November 18, 2005, status conference to December 2, 2005, at 10:00 a.m.
