VIA E-FILE The Honorable Mary Pat Thynge United States District Court 844 North King Street Lock Box 8 Wilmington, DE 19801 Re: Dear Judge Thynge: I am writing on behalf of both parties to request an additional mediation session in the above-referenced matter. Your Honor conducted one session on August 1, 2006. At that time, the parties were unable to reach a resolution. Since then, Plaintiff's prior counsel, Lori A. Brewington, has changed firms and Plaintiff is now represented by Herbert W. Mondros. It appears that the parties have narrowed the distance to settlement and it is our belief that Your Honor's assistance may help resolve the matter. Recognizing that the Court's time is limited and its docket already overburdened, the parties are agreeable to Magistrate Judge Stark's jurisdiction should Your Honor determine that to be a better course of action. Snyder v. CitiSteel C.A. No. 04-970-JJF
