Clerk's Notes: re: status conference; Motions to dismiss have been filed by all defendants except Centennial. Centennial has reached a settlement in all cases and are jurt working out the paperwork at this point. Court feels some disclovery may be done, i.e. along the lines of what was already permitted (on the assets issue), and will permit same (including depositions). It does not make sense however, for there to be wide-open discovery of the background of the perspectus, etc. The court will order all defendants to refran from destroying any documents. All documents are ordered preserved, no matter how insignificant they may seem.
