         This is to certify that David Medina has attempted to confer with opposing

counsel regarding this motion. Opposing counsel was opposed to the first motion

and so he is probably opposed to this motion as well. Once the undersigned has

spoken with opposing counsel a supplemental certificate of conference will be

filed.
