THIS MATTER is before the Court following the filing of the “Motion by Defendants

STRICKEN.

In the event counsel cannot resolve the present dispute without the Court’s

conference.
The Clerk is directed to send copies of this Order to counsel of record; and to the
Honorable Frank D. Whitney.
SO ORDERED.
