of prior to that date by motion or settlement. The parties should be prepared to provide the Court with an oral report concerning the status of discovery. The parties are also requested to inform the Court whether they intend to file a joint request that this matter be referred to a magistrate judge for purposes of mediation. Additionally, the parties are notified that should this matter proceed to trial, the Court will be requesting that the parties enter into a joint stipulation as to many of the undisputed facts. Doing so will obviate the need to present evidence as to, for example, certain policies in place, or certain events that occurred, which are not in dispute. The Court intends to conduct the trial as efficiently as possible and welcomes suggestions from counsel as to how this may best be achieved. ///// DATED: April 3, 2009 /s/ Arthur L.
