ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the court on the United States Additional Motion for Stay. Review of the pleadings reveals that while there is now a suggestion of a settlement, the proper paperwork necessary for the court to approve the minor settlement has not yet been submitted, as discussed in a prior Order. Until such paperwork is filed, and the court can be satisfied that the settlement is in the best interests of the minors as it is obligated to do, the court can see no reason to stay these proceedings.

ORDER IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the United States Additional Motion for Stay (#39) is DENIED without prejudice.
