by their undersigned counsel, hereby move the Court to vacate the Final Pretrial Conference in this matter currently set for January 5, 2007 [Courtroom Minutes, Docket #190]. As grounds for this Motion, the parties state as follows: 1. at 4:00 p.m. 2. The parties have reached settlement in principle of this and related actions and are On September 6, 2006 the Court set a Final Pretrial Conference for January 5, 2007

in the process of finalizing settlement papers, which are to be submitted to the Court no later than January 31, 2007. As a result, the holding of a Final Pretrial Conference prior to this date very well could be a waste of judicial as well as the parties' resources. Accordingly, the parties believe that it is in the interest of justice to vacate the Final Pretrial Conference date, to be reset at some later time should settlement not come to fruition. Indeed, in the event settlement of this matter is not achieved by January 31, 2007, the parties will request resetting of the Final Pretrial Conference at the Court's earliest possible convenience. 3. A copy of this Motion has been served on AMD and Erchonia in compliance with

D.COLO.LCiv.R. 6.1D. WHEREFORE, the parties respectfully request that the Final Pretrial Conference currently scheduled for January 5, 2007 be vacated in light of the parties' settlement in principle. In the event settlement papers are not filed by January 31, 2007, the parties respectfully request the Court reset the Final Pretrial Conference to the Court's earliest convenience.
