M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N


	The parties have informed us that they have reached an agreement in principle to
settle the case.  The parties now have a variety of documents to prepare and make final in order to
complete the settlement agreement, and have suggested an abatement pending final resolution of the
settlement.  We agree that an abatement is appropriate.  Accordingly, we abate the appeal until
September 30, 2004.  At that time the parties are to apprise us of the status of the settlement.  If the
settlement is made final before that date, the parties are free to tender a motion to dismiss at any
time.
