Plaintiff Spectrum Services Group, Inc. (“SSG”) hereby moves this Court for an Order

18

extending the Case Management Conference to November 4, 2014, for the following reasons.

19

As advised in Spectrum Services Group, Inc.’s (“SSG”) prior Case Management

20

Statement, SSG, AMEC Environmental and Infrastructure, Inc. (“AMEC”) (the principal on

21

Zurich’s Miller Act bond), Berkley Regional Insurance Company (“Berkley”) and SST-

22

Pullman (a subcontractor to SSG) participated in a mediation of the related action (Case 3:13-

23

cv-04059-WHO) on July 7, 2014 before mediator Randy Wulff. Since the filing of the prior

24

Case Management Statement, the approval of the settlement terms by executives not present

25

at the mediation has been obtained. AMEC and SSG (with SST-Pullman) are finalizing the

26

terms of a Joint Prosecution Agreement for submission of their claims against the National

27

Park Service. AMEC is providing assistance to SSG in its final claim preparation after which

28

the administrative claims process will move forward. Accordingly, SSG respectfully requests

that the court extend the date for the Case Management Conference for 30 days to allow for

2

final agreement on a Joint Prosecution Agreement and submission of claims.

AMEC's counsel has requested authority to represent Zurich American Insurance
Company in this matter, and that request is still pending.
For the reasons stated above, plaintiff SSG moves the Court for an Order to extend the

6

date for the Case Management Conference to November 4, 2014.
