C.A. No. 05-699 (KAJ)

INTERIM STATUS REPORT Pursuant to the Court's Scheduling Order of December 13, 2005, the parties hereby submit this Interim Status Report. 1. The Court has scheduled a telephonic Status Conference for July 18, 2006,

at 4:30 p.m. The parties agree that there is nothing to report, nor anything to add to this Interim Status Report or to the Scheduling Order. The parties request, therefore, that the telephonic Status Conference be taken off the Court's calendar. 2. Both parties have served and responded to written discovery, including

document requests, interrogatories, and requests for admission. The parties are still in the process of analyzing the documents produced and conferring on the parties' respective discovery responses. The parties have encountered some delay in the production of documents from a third party, Marsh Inc., in response to a subpoena served by Lumbermens Mutual Casualty Company on April 20, 2006. Consequently, although the parties have served deposition notices, no

depositions have been taken because document discovery remains ongoing. As a result, although

the parties are working diligently to complete discovery in accordance with the current Scheduling Order, it may not be possible to do so.
