RE: Magten Asset Mgmt. Corp. v. Paul Hastings J anofsky & Walker LLP,
C. A. No. 04-1279 JJF; Magten Asset Mgmt. Corp. v. Northwestern
Corp., C.A. No. 04-1389 JJF; Magten Asset Mgmt. Corp. v.
NorthWestern Corp., C.A. No. 04-1508 JJF
Dear Counsel:
1 have the letters submitted by counsel and Mr. Seitz concerning the recently completed
mediation effort. I believe the court ordered mediation was not successful based on the merits of
the parties’ positions, and therefore, I have concluded the appeals should proceed.
However, if the parties advise that they desire to engage in further mediation efforts
outside the Court’s program; I will, upon agreement of all parties involved, stay the appeal while
the parties mediate privately.
Sincerely,
Joseph J. Faman, Jr.
