OF CONNECTICUT, ET AL., :
Defendants. JULY 15, 2005
STATUS REPORT OF DEFENDANT, I
THE UNITED ILLUMINATIN G COMPANY
Defendant, The United Illuminating Company ("UI"), submits this status report pursuant
to the Court’s order of July 7, 2005.
A. Status of the Case
UI agrees with and adopts the description of the status of the case submitted by the State
of Connecticut in its status report dated July 12, 2005. UI adds, however, that if plaintiff seeks
judicial review of the agency final decision on tribal acknowledgment, then further proceedings
in this case should be stayed until the completion of judicial review. The agency final decision
will be an important component of a dispositive summary judgment or other legal motion on the
questions of jurisdiction and standing, and judicial efficiency dictates that the Court should
temporarily stay its hand until any judicial review of the agency decision is completed. It is not
presently known what plaintiffs intent is regarding seeking judicial review. .

useful at this time.
C. Trial Before a Magistrate Judge
UI does not consent to a trial before a magistrate judge.
D. Estimated Length of Trial
UI agrees with and adopts the State of Connecticut’s statements and views regarding trial,
as set forth in the State’s status report dated July l2, 2005. _
