Case No. 10-13680

Defendants.
/
ORDER SETTING TELEPHONE CONFERENCE
On March 23, 2011, the court entered an order administratively closing the case
based on representations of counsel that they were continuing to make substantial
progress toward reaching an amicable resolution. The court required Plaintiff to file a
status report by May 11, 2011, indicating the parties’ positions and whether the case
may be formally dismissed. Plaintiff filed its first report on May 16, 2011, stating that the
parties had not reached a formal settlement but that they continued to make substantial
progress. Plaintiff predicted that a settlement could be reached within thirty days.
Approximately thirty days later, Plaintiff filed a second status report, again stating that
another thirty days would likely be enough to reach a final settlement. The court will
allow the parties this thirty-day period, but will not allow indefinite extensions of time to
make no identifiable progress toward settlement. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that counsel shall participate in a telephone conference on July
15, 2011, at 11:00 a.m. During the conference, the parties should be prepared to

discuss the diligent efforts they have made toward reaching a resolution of this case. If
the case has not settled by that time, the court will likely reopen the case and issue a
scheduling order. If the case has settled by that time, and the parties have submitted a
stipulated dismissal order, the court will cancel the telephone conference.
