IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO

Civil Action No.: 03-CV-1338-REB-OES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, Plaintiff, v. GLEN W. HILKER, and LARRY M. BAKER, Defendants, TRICORD LLC and BROOKSHIRE DEVELOPMENT CO. LLC, Relief Defendants.

UNOPPOSED MOTION TO VACATE TRIAL PREPARATION CONFERENCE AND TRIAL DATES

Plaintiff, Securities and Exchange Commission, hereby moves this Honorable Court to vacate the Trial Preparation Conference and Trial dates. In its Trial Preparation Conference Order (Docket No. 95), the Court set the Trial Preparation Conference for October 21, 2005 at 10:00 a.m. and reaffirmed the trial date for November 7, 2005 at 9:00 a.m. Due to recent settlements in the case, those two dates should be vacated. On October 13, 2005, the Court entered the Order of Permanent Injunction as to Glen W. Hilker (Docket No. 110) and the Order and Judgment as to Relief Defendant Tricord LLC (Docket No. 109). The only remaining issue relating to Defendant Hilker is the civil penalty amount. Plaintiff will move the Court for a hearing to decide the civil

penalty amount in the near future. relating to Tricord LLC.

After the entry of Judgment, no issues remain

Today, Plaintiff filed its "Unopposed Motion for Entry of Order of Permanent Injunction as to Larry M. Baker" (Docket No. 113). If the Court enters the proposed Order of Permanent Injunction, the only remaining issue relating to Defendant Baker will be the civil penalty amount. Plaintiff will move the Court to decide the civil penalty amount in the near future.1 The only other remaining defendant is Relief Defendant Brookshire Development Co LLC. Plaintiff currently seeks disgorgement of ill-gotten gains from Brookshire.

However, Plaintiff is in the process of requesting authority from the Securities and Exchange Commission to resolve the case against Brookshire without the need for a trial.2 Plaintiff will inform the Court regarding the status of its case against Brookshire as soon as possible. At that time, it is anticipated that Plaintiff will also move the Court to decide the penalty amounts against Defendants Hilker and Baker, respectively.

In his Consent, Defendant Baker expressly waived any right to a hearing to determine the civil penalty amount, agreeing that the Court may determine the amount based upon the pleadings filed at the appropriate time. As the Court is aware, the Securities and Exchange Commission is made up of five Commissioners appointed by the President. In the instant case, Commission approval is required in order for the SEC staff to take the desired action to resolve the matter against Brookshire without the need for a trial. 2
