MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
I am unable to try this case on Monday, October 31, 2005. I will be in trial in a criminal case and I must give that case expedited consideration. I was unable to confer with the parties in this case on Friday. Nevertheless,
IT IS ORDERED that this matter is referred to Magistrate Judge Gossett for rescheduling. I also request that Judge Gossett correspond in writing with the parties about the possibility of consenting to proceed before a magistrate judge. Given my heavy trial schedule, it is quite unlikely that I will be able to try this case in a timely manner. If the parties do not wish to consent to a trial before a magistrate judge, I will do my best but I cannot promise them a speedy disposition.
