litigation. However, settlement discussions have ended up being fruitless, with little chance of
resulting in closure, despite a good faith attempt on behalf of the Plaintiff.

Plaintiff’s counsel had advised the defendant’s representative of the Court’s order

appearance as of the filing of Plaintiff’s Status Report (Dkt.# 6) on June 7, 2017. On June 14,
2017, Plaintiff requested a date by which the Defendant would be answering, but was not

13

provided one. On June 21, 2017, Plaintiff advised Defendant that Plaintiff will no longer delay

14

prosecuting this case for the purpose of settlement discussions beginning at Noon on Friday,

15

June 23, 2017.
