MS, JONES: Your Honorr I brought with

a

me

today a Proposed Scheduling Order, I presented that to
Mr. Spreadbury. We have agreed to the deadlines. We
have not set forth a date for a settfement master, We
wouLd ask the Court's permissicn to consult by the
deadline, which is in December, and then add that
information later.
That's agreeable to you,
Mr. Spreadburyr to work out the date and time for a
set.tlement master by the deadline in December?
MR. SPREADBURY: Yes, your Hono.r. I did
speak with Ms, .lones and I do feel the sett.Lement time
is something we need to work out. I,m noticing now that
THE COURT:

22

the September 3rd might be a fittle bit early for me. I
original-ly thought everything woul-d be fine. I would
I j-ke to get everything accompl ished within six months.
