Dear Judge Farnan: Please accept this letter as an interim status report in the above-reference matter. On July 28, 2006, the plaintiff, John S. Shipley, filed an Amended Complaint with this Honorable Court. On December 14, 2006, the Defendants Verne Orndorff and the Department of Land Use Office of Code Enforcement filed a Motion to Dismiss the plaintiff's amended complaint based upon insufficient service of process and failure to state a claim. The plaintiff filed a response to the Defendants' Motion to Dismiss on January 19, 2007. The Defendants' filed a reply to the plaintiff's response on February 2, 2007. On March 22, 2007, plaintiff filed a Motion for Extension to amend his complaint and a Motion to Stay all criminal proceedings pending in the Justice of the Peace Court No. 11. Defendants filed a response to plaintiff's Motion for Extension and Motion to Stay on March 28, 2007. To the best of counsel's knowledge, plaintiff has not filed a reply. I believe that the Motions are ripe for Your Honor's consideration. However, if Your Honor needs any additional information, I am available at the Court's convenience.
