HEARING OFFICER ORDER

  

On April 15, 2004, all parties participated in a telephonic status conference with the

hearing officer. The parties represented that they remain optimistic that this matter will settle

without the necessity of a hearing. A draft settlement document is being circulated for its final

stages of review and signatures.

The parties are directed to participate in a telephonic status conference with the hearing

officer on May 11, 2004, at 10:30 a.m. The 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

discuss, if needed, possible hearing dates. If, however, a motion to voluntarily dismiss is filed

prior to the next status conference, the conference will be cancelled without further order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
