Malmberg, III Fax: (302) 674-0549 Kevin M. Howard Ronald G. Poliquin September 25, 2007 The Honorable Mary Pat Thynge J. Caleb Boggs Federal Building 844 N. King Street Lock Box 8 Wilmington, DE 19801m 6100 RE: Hurd v. Delaware State University and Dandeson Panda C.A. No. 07-117-MPT

Dear Judge Thynge: This letter is being submitted on behalf of all parties and shall constitute the Interim Status Report requirement located in paragraph seven (7) of the June 26, 2007 Scheduling Order. Currently, there are outstanding discovery requests including interrogatories and request for production of documents that the Plaintiff has submitted to Defendant Delaware State University. In addition, Plaintiff's Counsel is in the process of scheduling depositions of Dandeson Panda, Allen Sessoms, and Mark Farley. In addition, Counsel is still awaiting the Court's decision concerning Defendant Dandeson Panda's Motion to Dismiss. Plaintiff concedes certain arguments in Defendant Panda's motion, such as Defendant Panda cannot be held personally liable under Title IX and Title VI and punitive damages are not available under Title IX and Title VI. To a certain degree, any settlement discussion will be limited until that time and until completion of discovery by both sides. I hope this satisfies the Court's requirement for an Interim Status Report. All parties will be prepared to discuss the above issues further at the Status Conference scheduled for October 2, 2007. Respectfully Submitted,

Case 1:07-cv-00117-MPT
