Defendants World Nutrition, Inc. ("World Nutrition") and William Wong and Michele Wong ("Wong"), hereby give notice to the Court regarding its dispute as to the characterization of Marlyn's Case Status Report to the Court. Although the issue may be moot in light of the Court's Order today, Defendants are compelled to inform the Court that Defendants dispute Plaintiff's claim that counsel "have conferred and have been unable to agree to private mediation." Plaintiff's statement implies active discussion and disagreement. There has been no such active discussion. Defendants remain willing to participate in private mediation as they previously informed the Court. However, Marlyn's counsel simply called on Friday and stated that Marlyn absolutely refuses to participate in any private mediation process. Thus, no agreement exists.
DATED this 28th day of August, 2007. LEWIS BRISBOIS BISGAARD & SMITH, LLP
