The Parties have conferred regarding settlement of the instant action, and in that

process have informally exchanged documents and other information. There is no separate scheduling order for this action. Neither Party has provided expert disclosures. The Parties anticipate the need for some limited additional discovery, the extent of which will likely be determined by the discovery that occurs pursuant to the Discovery Coordination Order. At a minimum, the Parties anticipate the need for written discovery and Defendants will likely depose Plaintiff. There is no trial date. Dated this 20th day of July, 2006.
