I`m going out on the limb and predicting July 17, 2006 they will agree to mediate. Otherwise, these companies will keep acruing attorney fees and stand a huge chance of losing this case.

July 17, 2006 Comply with P.R. 3-1

To be discussed at Mediation to be completed

Scheduling Conference If the parties agree that mediation is an option, the Court will

appoint a mediator or the parties will mutually agree upon a

mediator. If the parties choose the mediator, they are to

inform the Court by letter the name and address of the

mediator.
