In

compliance with D. COLO . LCivR 7.

2005 , eVision fied a response in

opposition to the Settling Parties ' Preliminary Approval Motion. Thus , the Settling Parties

respective reply briefs in support of the Preliminary Approval Motion are currently due on
June 28 2005.

Due to Dorsey s attorneys ' scheduling conflicts and substantial out-of- town travel between June 13 and 28 for depositions in unrelated actions , and due to Plaintiffs ' counsel'
scheduling conflicts and substantial overseas travel , during the same period , to take the

depositions of several individual defendants in this action , Dorsey s and Plaintiffs ' attorneys

have not yet had an adequate opportunity to prepare their clients ' respective reply briefs in
support of the settlement.

Given that the hearing on the Settling Parties ' joint motion for preliminary

approval of the settlement is set for August 16 2005 , and given that the Court , eVision , and the
