Further Joint Case Management Statement

C-01-4740 MJJ; C-03-4579 MJJ 2

The parties to this consolidated action jointly submit this Further Case Management

Statement in anticipation of the July 12, 2005, Case Management Conference, and for the reasons

stated below, respectfully request that the Court continue the July 12, 2005, Case Management

Conference to October 25, 2005, or such other later date in October or November, 2005, as is

convenient for the Court. 

1. PROCEEDINGS SINCE APRIL 12, 2005, CASE MANAGEMENT

CONFERENCE

Since the April 12, 2050, Case Management Conference, the parties have initiated

settlement discussions in an effort to fully resolve the issues in these consolidated cases.

2. FURTHER ANTICIPATED PROCEEDINGS

The parties are working together in good faith to attempt to resolve these cases through

their settlement discussions and are continuing to work together in good faith in the discovery

process. In the event that the parties’ settlement discussions are unsuccessful, the parties

anticipate taking at least two additional depositions on the procedural issues, and the United

States will subpoena relevant documents from third party record keepers.

3. REQUEST TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE

The parties are actively involved in settlement discussions. They anticipate that it may

take a period of approximately ninety (90) days for a determination as to whether a settlement

will be possible. Accordingly, the parties respectfully request that the Court continue the July

12, 2005, Case Management Conference and set a further status conference to occur on October

25, 2005, or such other later date in October or November 2005, as is convenient for the Court. 

By October 25, 2005, the parties anticipate that they will be able to realistically advise the Court

as to whether the cases will be resolved through settlement, and if not capable of resolution, to

advise the Court as to the further proceedings necessary in the cases. 

This request is not made for the purposes of delay, but rather to conserve the parties and
