    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by C.A. Manning):
    On October
    15,
    1993 the Office of
    the Attorney General on
    behalf
    of the People of the State
    of Illinois and the Berkshire
    Furniture Company, Inc. filed a joint status report indicating they
    had engaged in substantial settlement discussions relating to the
    resolution of the issues raised by the People’s
    complaint.
    The
    report
    further
    stated that the parties had discussed the latest
    written settlement proposal and they had come to an agreement with
    respect to the specific language of all but one paragraph of the
    proposed
    settlement
    agreement.
    The
    status
    report
    specifically
    provided:
    “4.
    It is the sense of the attorneys subscribing to this
    status
    report that a
    final,
    fully executed settlement
    agreement will be ready to file with the Board within two
    weeks from the date of entry of this status report.”
    Based on the representations of the parties, we entered an order on
    October
    21,
    1993
    allowing
    the
    parties
    to
    file
    the
    executed
    settlement
    agreement
    rather
    than
    additional
    status
    reports.
    Moreover,
    on
    our
    own
    motion,
    we
    extended
    an
    on—going
    hearing
    continuance for an additional two weeks until November 4, 1993, so
    that
    the parties may
    file the settlement
    agreement rather than
    proceeding to hearing.
    As of the date of this order, the parties have not yet filed
    the
    settlement agreement
    in this
    case.
    The
    Board,
    on
    its
    own
    motion,
    directs the parties to either file the finally-executed
    settlement agreement or,
    a status report regarding the settlement
    negotiations on or before December
    27,
    1993.
    Additionally,
    the
    Board will, also on its own motion, extend the hearing continuance
    in this matter until December 27,
    1993.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
