HEARING OFFICER ORDER

On August 18, 2005, all parties participated in a telephonic status conference with the

hearing officer. The parties represented that they have been discussing the draft stipulation and

proposal for settlement (stipulation), including the inclusion of bankruptcy language or

provisions. The parties remain optimistic, however, that a stipulation will be filed eventually.

By agreement, the respondent’s answer is now due on or before November 28, 2005.

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

conference with the hearing officer on October 27, 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. If, however, a stipulation is filed

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

IT IS SO ORDERED.
