No. 02-1219C (Judge C. Miller)
JOINT STATUS REPORT Pursuant to the Court's September 14, 2006 Order, Plaintiff, Calcasieu Refining Company, on behalf of both of the parties, respectfully submits this Joint Status Report. The Court's Order directed the parties to address the recent decisions in ConocoPhillips v. United States, No. 02-1367C (Fed. Cl. Aug. 28, 2006), and La Gloria Oil and Gas Company v. United States, No. 02-465C (Fed. Cl. Sept. 12, 2006). In both cases, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal. Because both of these appeals involve issues similar to those presented in the present case, the parties jointly request that the stay in this case remain in place until thirty days after the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit first issues a mandate in either appeal. At that time, and with the Court's concurrence, the parties propose to file a Joint Status Report addressing the course of further proceedings in this case. Respectfully submitted,
