IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF FEDERAL CLAIMS ______________ No. 06-393 T (Judge Baskir) OLD REPUBLIC LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, Plaintiff, v. THE UNITED STATES, Defendant. ______________ JOINT STATUS REPORT ______________ As the Court requested in its Order of December 11, 2006, the parties submit the following joint status report. On December 14, 2006, the defendant sent the plaintiff a set of three interest calculations for review and comment. On December 28, the plaintiff responded that it tentatively agreed with the first calculation, but that it could not agree with the second and third because the defendant had begun the calculation at too late a date in the record. The defendant agreed to recalculate the second and third calculations, and on February 15, 2007, the defendant sent the new calculations to the plaintiff.

Once the parties have agreed upon the calculations, they will attempt to resolve their dispute; if that is impossible, they will attempt to present the dispute to the Court as a purely legal question. In the meanwhile, the parties request continued suspension of this case. They will file another joint status report on April 17, 2007. The plaintiff's attorney has agreed that the defendant's trial attorney may present this document as a joint filing.
