                                        - 6 -                                          

                   THE COURT:     * * *  [I]t's also your  responsibility,             
                                  Mr. Hartman, to have--have all that                  
                                  documentation readily avail-able, and                
                                  I don't want long delays in terms                    
                                  of providing the Respondent with the                 
                                  necessary information because we've                  
                                  already delayed long enough.                         
                   MR. HARTMAN:   It's all sitting in my car, Your Honor,              
                                  so we're going through it.                           

                  Subsequently, an attorney entered his appearance on                  
             behalf of Mr. Hartman.  Inexplicably, the attorney did not                
             enter his appearance on behalf of Mrs. Hartman.  The                      
             parties filed status reports pursuant to the Court's order                
             in which they stated that little progress had been made.                  
             Mr. Hartman's attorney filed petitioners' status report,                  
             in which he detailed Mr. Hartman's professional engage-                   
             ments that required cancellation of an appointment with                   
             respondent and would make Mr. Hartman unavailable for                     
             approximately 30 days.                                                    
                  Shortly thereafter, respondent filed a motion to                     
             dismiss for lack of prosecution.  Respondent's motion sets                
             forth the following summary of petitioners' failure to                    
             prosecute this case from the time of the first continuance:
