ORDER 

SETTING THIRD LITIGATION SCHEDULING CONERkENCE 

On November 23, 2011 an Order Setting Second Litigation Scheduling 

Conference was filed and served on all parties' addresses of record. This Order required, 

among other things, for Quenton T. Brown, the pro se Respondent, to file a written

prior to the Conference. 

On Wednesday, December 7, 2011 both parties appeared by telephone for the 

Second Litigation Scheduling Conference, and reported that they had conferred 

informally by telephone prior to the Conference to discuss litigation procedures. 

However, Mr. Brown, the pro sc Respondent, had still not filed a written Answer, and the 

parties had not yet engaged in specific settlement discussions. 

During the December 7. 201 1 Conference, the parlies briefiy discussed the status 

of the case, the statutory basis for the complaint filed against Mr. Brown, the processes of 

legal research and discovery, and their mutual calendar availability for further 

Conferences. The parties agreed to reconvene for a third litigation scheduling conference, 

to allow Mr. Brown a fourth opportunity to file a written Answer to the Notice of 

Complaint, as well as an additional opportunity to confer privately with the FAA about 

the merits of the case and the possibility of settlement.
