    HEARING OFFICER ORDER
     
     
    On September 14, 2004, all parties participated in a telephonic status conference with the
    hearing officer. The attorney for respondent Wooten Construction, Ltd., represented that it
    intends to file its answer on or before September 28, 2004. The complainant did not object. To
    that end, Wooten’s answer is now due to be filed on or before September 28, 2004. The parties
    represented that settlement discussions have been ongoing with penalty offers under review.
     
    The parties or their legal representatives are directed to appear at a telephonic status
    conference with the hearing officer on November 18, 2004, at 9:30 a.m. The telephonic status
    conference must be initiated by the complainant, but each party is nonetheless responsible for its
    own appearance. At the conference the parties must be prepared to discuss the status of the
    above-captioned matter and their readiness for hearing.
     
     
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
