ORDER The parties' joint motion to continue judicial settlement conference (Docket Entry No. 27) is GRANTED.1 The settlement conference, scheduled by order entered April 6, 2010 (Docket Entry No. 25), on May 21, 2010, is RESCHEDULED to Tuesday, June 29, 2010, at 9:00 a.m., in Courtroom 764, U.S. Courthouse, 801 Broadway, Nashville, TN. In their motion, the parties indicated their desire to submit a joint report if their own settlement negotiations proved unfruitful and to request that a settlement conference be scheduled at that time in June or July of 2010. The undersigned cannot schedule a settlement conference in July, and, if a settlement conference is not scheduled now in June, the parties run the risk that the Court will not be able to reschedule it in June. If June 29, 2010, presents scheduling conflicts for the parties, counsel shall immediately confer and shall call Ms. Jeanne Cox, Courtroom Deputy, at 736-5164, to explore other possible dates in June.2 By June 22, 2010, counsel shall deliver under seal directly to Ms. Cox, or to Steve Wilson or Peter Malanchuk, law clerks to the undersigned, separate settlement conference statements. In

The portion of the motion seeking to extend deadlines for expert disclosures was granted by order entered April 19, 2010 (Docket Entry No. 27). The settlement conference was originally scheduled on May 21, 2010, because counsel had not responded to Ms. Cox's email of March 23, 2010.
