The plaintiff, therefore, requests a continuance of the Settlement Conference. Given the situation, and given the upcoming holidays, plaintiff requests that the Settlement Conference be scheduled for a date after the first of the year. Plaintiff has contacted counsel for the defendants and they both have agreed to this request. Counsel for the parties have agreed that January 29th at 10:00 AM would be an appropriate time, as both defense counsels have heavy trial schedules in the weeks prior that the final week of January. The Special Masters are also available at that date and time. THE PLAINTIFF, ARTHUR YEOMANS, JR.
