WHEREAS, the Parties have been working together and have diligently met and
conferred in good faith in an effort to reach a resolution on attorneys’ fees and costs
without court intervention. The Parties represent that due to unavailability of counsel
and their clients, especially due to unavailability that was exacerbated during the
holiday season, there was further delay with the meet and confer process. Plaintiff has
provided detailed information regarding their attorneys’ fees and costs to Prudential
which Prudential has reviewed in detail however the Parties are continuing to meet
and confer and assert that they will not be in a position to complete their meet and
confer efforts and come to a resolution or prepare a motion, if necessary, prior to the
January 20, 2015 deadline to file a motion.
