I.

UNCONTESTED MATTERS: 1. Debtors Motion for an Order Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 1121(d) of the Bankruptcy Code Further Extending the Debtors Exclusive Periods to File a Plan and Solicit Acceptances Thereto (ECF Nos. 326 and 327). Status: Pursuant to a bridge order dated June 15, 2012 (ECF No. 349), the Debtors 120-day exclusive period has been extended to through and including July 10, 2012. The Debtors intend to proceed with the hearing and request that the Court grant an extension of the 120-day exclusive period to through and including October 26, 2012 and the 180-day period to through and including December 27, 2012. This is the final extension as the Bankruptcy Code does not permit the Court to grant extensions past 18 and 20 months from the Filing Date. The Committee has not filed an objection to the exclusivity motion.

ADVERSARY PROCEEDING PRE-TRIAL CONFERENCES 1. Corporation of the Catholic Archbishop of Seattle v. Congregation of Christian Brothers of Ireland, et al. Adv. Pro. No. 11-08332 (RDD) Status: This adversary proceeding was initially commenced in or about August 2011, and subsequently stayed to June 7, 2012, pursuant to a stipulation and order dated November 30, 2011 (ECF No. 32). All proceedings were stayed in anticipation of the sexual abuse bar date as this adversary proceeding is a declaratory judgment action with respect to insurance coverage with respect to sexual abuse claims. The Debtors intend to ask for a further stay of all proceedings to a date in September 2012, to enable the Debtors, the Committee, and the various insurance companies to review and analyze all sexual abuse claims which may be covered by the applicable insurance policies. This is the continued pre-trial status conference. The pre-trial is scheduled to proceed. Upon information and belief, all parties are agreeable to a further stay of the proceedings. 2. Corporation of the Catholic Archbishop of Seattle v. Congregation of Christian Brothers of Ireland, et al. Adv. Pro. No. 12-08236 (RDD) Status: This adversary proceeding was commenced in or about April 2012, and seeks the substantive consolidation of the Debtors Chapter 11 cases with other non-debtor entities allegedly closely associated with the Debtors. This is the initial pre-trial status conference. Motions to dismiss the complaint have been filed by defendants Christian Brothers Institute of California and Christian Brothers Institute of Michigan. The dismissal motions have been scheduled to be heard on August 6, 2012. The Debtors dispute the standing of the Seattle Archdiocese to seek substantive consolidation relief. The Debtors believe all proceedings should be stayed until after the sexual abuse bar date, and the Committee and the Debtor can finalize negotiations towards a consensual plan of reorganization. Upon information and belief, the Archbishop of Seattle intends to request that the Court set a discovery schedule.
