July 8, 2005, Defendant filed its post-hearing brief on July 29, 2005, and Plaintiff’s reply was

filed on August 5, 2005.

On August 15, 2005, the Arbitrator F. Carlton King, Jr., issued his monetary Award in

favor of Plaintiff. Plaintiff submitted a letter to the Arbitrator requesting clarification on the

Award in regard to the interest on the settlement reached at mediation. The Arbitrator issued a

Supplemental Award, which specifically addressed the issue brought by Plaintiff. The

Supplemental Award made no change to the monetary Award; therefore, the Arbitrator’s Award

issued on August 15, 2005, became final.

On September 30, 2005, Plaintiff filed a Motion to Confirm Arbitration Award seeking to

protect its enforcement rights and seeks an order confirming the Arbitration Award and a

conforming judgment. This motion is set to be heard on November 18, 2005, at 10:00 a.m..

It is hereby respectively requested that the Status Conference hearing, set for October 28,

2005, at 8:30 a.m., be continued to November 18, 2005, at 10:00 a.m., or in the alternative, to a

future date after November 18, 2005.
