from Kirkland on behalf of the debtors. Your Honor, we have on the agenda today, really two the disclosure statement with respect to the plans as

well as our requested motion to approve the LNR stipulation -THE COURT: MR. SATHY: THE COURT: Right. -- and the Chatham breakup fee. We also -- there was also an indication

that the motion to compel -- the Midland motion to compel was carried on to today as well. Was that a mistake, or did you

intend not to go forward today? UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: No, that's -- that will not --

it's not a mistake that it was carried on -- carried today, but if everything gets resolved it would go away. MR. SATHY: THE COURT: MR. SATHY: It would be resolved. All right. Fine. All right.

Your Honor, I think what might make sense,

just in terms of the number of moving pieces is if -THE COURT: MR. SATHY: Right. -- Your Honor would allow, we'd have a

brief chambers conference to discuss the current status. THE COURT: All right. I think that makes sense so

that everybody can plan what they want to do next.
