The State has moved the trial court to schedule a final hearing for September 5, 2007, so that a final order may be entered by the trial court by September 10, 2007, in conformance with the trial court’s July 17, 2007, status report to this Court. The schedule set forth by this Court in its July 18, 2007, scheduling order, and as further set forth below, will govern this proceeding unless the parties show good cause no later than August 10, 2007, why additional time is required to conclude the proceedings and for the trial court to enter a final order. If the parties demonstrate good cause, the Court will modify the scheduling order; otherwise the times set forth shall remain in effect.
