JOINT STATUS REPORT; STIPULATION AND ORDER
REGARDING REQUEST TO MODIFY SCHEDULING ORDER RE PRE- TRIAL PROCEEDINGS
Complaint Filed: December 18, 2003
Phase II Trial Date: March 5, 2012
The Honorable Kimberly J. Mueller
Since filing the request for stay of proceedings on January 9, 2012 (ECF # 654) and the Court's approval of the same (ECF # 655), with the assistance of Magistrate Judge Newman counsel for the parties have spent extensive time working on bringing this matter to resolution. The parties and their counsel have a good faith belief that with continued efforts, an agreement on the terms and conditions of settlement should be reached by Friday, January 20, 2012. In the event settlement is not going to be possible, that too should be known by January 20th. Accordingly, the parties request a further stay of proceedings until January 20, 2012, at which time they will file a further Joint Status Report. This further stay will allow the parties and their counsel to focus on settlement efforts, which will eliminate the need for pre-trial motions, a damages phase trial and post-trial motions.
