`
`George C. Pologeorgis,
`Interlocutory Attorney:
`
`On June 13, 2011, applicant filed a consented motion to
`
`
`
`suspend proceedings for thirty days so that the parties may
`
`continue with their settlement discussions.
`
`
`
`The Board notes that the parties were advised in the
`
`Board's May 2, 2011 order that any further requests for
`
`suspension for settlement must include a showing of good cause
`
`that provides detailed information regarding the status of the
`
`parties’ settlement negotiations, such as a recitation of the
`
`issues to be resolved and a firm time table for resolution
`
`thereof. The parties were further advised that any such
`
`request that did not include the required information will not
`
`be granted.
`
`
`
`In support of applicant’s motion to suspend, applicant
`
`merely states that the parties are engaged in ongoing
`
`settlement negotiations.
`
`
`
`Opposition No. 91194728
`
`
`
`
`In view thereof, applicant’s motion to suspend for
`
`settlement is hereby denied for lack of good cause in view of
`
`the parties’ failure to provide a status report of their
`
`settlement efforts.
`
`The Board notes, however, that the deadline for the
`
`parties’ initial disclosures has already expired. In order
`
`not to prejudice the parties, a short extension of trial dates
`
`is granted to the extent noted below:
