HEARING OFFICER ORDER

On December 20, 2004, all parties participated in a telephonic status conference with the

hearing officer. The respondent’s attorney represented that its client has filed for bankruptcy and

before a stipulation and proposal for settlement (stipulation) is agreed to, she must be approved

by a board of creditors. The attorney has now been approved and represented that settlement

proceedings are progressing. The parties remain optimistic, however, that a stipulation will be

filed eventually. By agreement, the respondent’s answer is now due on or before April 4, 2005.

The parties or their legal representatives are directed to participate in a telephonic status

conference with the hearing officer on March 3, 2005, 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.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
