During the prehearing conference, the Respondent expressed interest in a settlement conference or mediation session prior to the hearing.  Counsel for the Department indicated that he would discuss the request with Department representatives.  It is requested that he notify Mr. Sherayzen and me by May 14, 2010, if the Department joins in the request.  Finally, the Department will submit a response to the Respondent’s pending Motion for More Definite Statement within ten days of its receipt of the Motion. 

 

Please do not hesitate to contact my office if you believe that an additional prehearing conference or telephone conference call would be helpful prior to the hearing. 

 

                                                            Sincerely,
