Re: Wells Fargo Bank, NA., etal. v. Royal Indemnity Company, No. 02-1294 (JJF)
Charles A. Stanziale v. Pepper Hamilton LLP, ei al., No. 04-1551 (JJF)
Royal Inclemnig Co. v. Pepper Hamilton LLP, et al., No. 05-165 QJJFQ
Dear Judge Farnan:
I write on behalf of Plaintiffs Charles A. Stanziale (the "Trustee") and Royal Indemnity
Company ("Royal") to inform the Court that we are in discussions to settle all claims with
defendants Pepper Hamilton LLP ("Pepper Hamilton") and W. Roderick Gagné ("Mr. Gagné”),
in his capacity as an attorney practicing at Pepper Hamilton.
In the circumstances, we respectfully request that the Court take no action with respect to
the pending matters listed on the attached Exhibit A. Because settlements have not yet been
finalized, we also are not requesting any further action from the Court at this time regarding any
of the deadlines set forth in the current Case Management Orders. We will keep the Court
appraised of the status of our discussions.

These discussions involve only Pepper Hamilton, Mr. Gagné in his capacity as an
attorney practicing at Pepper Hamilton, Royal and the Trustee. Thus, even if a final settlement is
reached, Royal’s claims in Case No. 02-1294 against Wells Fargo and others, and the claims
brought by the Trustee against Robert L. Bast, Pamela Bashore Gagné, and Mr. Gagné in his
capacity as Trustee for the various James Brennan and Elizabeth Brennan Trusts in No. 04-1551,
remain Lmaffected and are expected to go forward.
