IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Senior District Judge Richard P. Matsch Civil Action No. 02-cv-01827-RPM TIBERIU KLEIN, individually and as Executor of the Estate of CLAUDIA ZVUNCA, Plaintiff, v. WESLEY JAY TATUM and GREYHOUND LINES, INC., Defendants. _____________________________________________________________________ ORDER DIRECTING GREYHOUND LINES TO RESPOND _____________________________________________________________________ On May 28, 2010, counsel for the plaintiffs filed a pleading designated Motion for Emergency Protective Order, Request for Expedited Hearing, and Request to Reconvene Settlement Conference. In that pleading, counsel recites his understanding of settlement negotiations between defendant Greyhound Lines, Inc., and the plaintiffs in related proceedings pending in the Cook County Circuit Court in Illinois and Mr. Avery expresses the concern that those negotiations may adversely affect the plaintiffs Tiberiu Klein and the estate of his deceased wife, Claudia Zvunca, in this civil action. The requested relief of a protective order concerning the conduct of settlement negotiations in Illinois is inappropriate. The request that this Court refer this case to a magistrate judge for parallel settlement negotiations is a matter which requires response from the defendant Greyhound Lines, Inc., and it is therefore

ORDERED that the defendant Greyhound Lines, Inc., shall, on or before June 29, 2010, file a response to the plaintiffs' motion as a request to convene a settlement conference for this civil action. DATED: June 15th 2010 BY THE COURT: s/Richard P. Matsch ________________________________ Richard P. Matsch, Senior District Judge
