ORDER
A telephone conference was held on the progress of settlement negotiations in this case by telephone on October 3, 2008, before United States District Judge Barbara B. Crabb. Counsel advised the court that the settlement negotiations, which had supposedly been complete on August 12, 2008, had fallen apart. Counsel were reminded that their case is set for trial and that they will be expected to follow all of the deadlines for trial preparation.
Counsel want to continue to explore settlement and will talk with Judge Reinhard about helping them do so. Counsel are free to pursue the prospect of settlement, but they should keep in mind that they are expected to go to trial as scheduled on February 2, 2009, unless they have settled their case completely before that time.
