O RDER

TH I S MATTER is before the court on the individual plaintiffs' Motion for Order Approving Minor Settlement (#43). It now appearing that such plaintiff have filed with the court the necessary evidentiary materials as well as a proposed Order that appears to fully comply with the practices prevalent in the North Carolina courts, the court will set this matter for hearing. While the court has attempted to

a c com m odate the specific dates set by the parties, the court simply was not available on those dates. Instead, the court will be in Charlotte on December 8, 2008, for p u r p o s e s of conducting a jury trial and will hear this matter before commencing that trial on that date. If that date is inconvenient, the parties are welcome to suggest other dates in Asheville; however, travel by the court and staff to Charlotte for what appears to be a very short proceeding will entail a day away from court business and the court would rather combine such matter with other proceedings either in Charlotte or in

Asheville for the sake of judicial efficiency.

O R DER IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the individual plaintiffs' Motion for Order Approving Minor Settlement (#43) is calendared for hearing on Monday, Decem ber 8, 2008, at 9 a.m. in Charlotte. The minor plaintiffs, due to their age, are excused from such hearing and shall be represented by their guardian ad litem.

Signed: November 10, 2008
