ORDER GRANTING CONTINUANCE, SETTING 

SECOND CR 16 LITIGATION SCHEDULING CONFERENCE, AND 

GRANTING/DENYING OTHER RELIEF 

On May 25,2012 an Order Granting the FAA's Motion for Continuance of the CR 16 

Conference and Granting/Denying Other Relief was filed. This Order directed the parties to 

submit a joint CR 26(f) proposed scheduling/discovery plan on or before June 11,2012. It also 

directed the parties to appear on June 18, 2012 for the re-scheduled CR 16 Conference. 

On June 11, 2012 the parties failed to submit a joint CR 26(f) proposed 

scheduling/discovery plan. 

On June 18, 2012 the FAA appeared for the scheduled CR 16 Conference, but the pro se 

Respondent, Rian C. Seeman, failed to appear, despite the Office of Hearings' clerical staff 

attempts to contact the Respondent at both his telephone number of record (317 -657 -8965), and 

at the Respondent's alternate cell phone number (317-855-3101). Both numbers had been 

disconnected. During the June 18, 2012 Conference, the FAA noted that it had been in recent 

contact with the Respondent (utilizing the Respondent's telephone number of record), and that 

the parties were discussing settlement. The FAA requested an additionai three weeks oftime to 

pursue settlement discussions. The FAA provided its calendar availability for a new CR 16 

Conference date, as well as for setting a new deadline for a CR 26(f) submission. 

After having reviewed the pleadings in this case, and having considered all relevant 

caselaw, regulation, statutory authority, and being fully advised; 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED: 

1. The FAA'sRequ~$t for Continuance of the CR 16 Litigation Scheduling Conference 

is granted.
