-------------------------------------------------------

Dear Judge Crotty:
We represent the Bouchard entities involved in the captioned litigation. Counsel for Cable
Interests wrote to the Court on September 25th advising that the parties had reached a settlement
and indicating that the parties intended to submit a proposed Consent Order for the Court’s
consideration. The settlement has been paid, but since the filing of Cable Interests’ September
25th letter, the Bouchard entities involved in this case have filed for bankruptcy protection
pursuant to Chapter 11 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas.
Based on the automatic stay, we are unable to file the consent order at this time.
533610.1

We will monitor the bankruptcy proceedings and advise the Court of any changes in status.
Respectfully submitted,
FREEHILL HOGAN & MAHAR LLP
