3 JUDGE GOODWIN: Okay. We're on 

4 the record. This is the case of Butte 

5 Fabrication, FAA Case -- I'm sorry Butte 

6 Steel & Fabrication, FAA Number 2012-0199. 

7 It's 9:54a.m. The court reporter 

8 and the Court have been here since nine 

9 o'clock. None of the parties appeared. My 

10 Staff Assistant has been able to reach the FAA 

11 attorney and apparently the case settled and 

12 the settlement notice did not get to our 

13 office in time. 

14 The Court will reserve its 

15 decision on disposition, but the -- as to 

16 whether we will dismiss with prejudice, but 

17 for now the hearing will be closed, the 

18 parties failed to appear, and we' 11 go off the 

19 record. 

20 (The proceedings were 

21 adjourned/recessed at 9:55 o'clock a.m.)
