HEARING OFFICER ORDER 
        On January 4, 2006, a telephonic status conference was held.  The complainant 
represented that it appears that a settlement with First Rockford Group, Inc., and Schlichting & 
Sons Excavating, Inc., (Schlichting) has been reached.  Respective stipulations and proposals for 
settlement are or will be circulated for review and signatures.   To that end, Schlichting is given 
until March 17, 2006, to file its answer, if needed.   
          The parties or their legal representatives are directed to participate in a telephonic status 
conference with the hearing officer on March 9, 2006, 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 status conference, the parties must be prepared to discuss the status of 
 the above-captioned matter and their readiness for hearing.
