ORDER
By order entered April 3, 2012, the Court granted the parties’ joint motion to dismiss a
portion of claims joined in this action and to stay and administratively close the case with respect
to claims involving (1) actions or inactions of either party occurring on or after November 1,
2011, (2) the parties’ rights and obligations regarding indemnification for any settlements or
judgments adverse to Riceland in the underlying suits, and (3) any defense costs incurred after
November 1, 2011.
Now before the Court is the parties’ joint status report, stating that no developments have
occurred that affect indemnification issues, and no settlements or judgments adverse to Riceland
have been entered in the underlying suits. The parties report that approximately twenty
underlying lawsuits remain, and they request that the stay be extended, with a joint status report
due within six months.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that that this case remains administratively closed, and
the parties shall file a joint status report on or before April 8, 2013, stating the status of the
underlying cases and whether this case can proceed or be dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED THIS 12TH DAY OF OCTOBER, 2012.
