               In a telephone conference with the Court on February 10,               
          1998, petitioner informally requested the place of trial be                 
          changed to Seattle, Washington.  The Court granted petitioner's             
          request, struck the case from the March 16, 1998, Hartford trial            
          session, and scheduled the case for trial on May 4, 1998, in                
          Seattle.                                                                    
               By letter dated March 23, 1998, counsel for respondent                 
          requested documents and a meeting with petitioner, explained the            
          necessity for a stipulation of facts, and again enclosed a                  
          proposed stipulation of facts.  In addition, this letter                    
          explained the Court's requirement that documents which the                  
          parties intended to rely upon at trial be timely exchanged.                 
          Petitioner did not execute the proposed stipulation of facts and            
          did not provide any of the requested documents.                             
               On April 28, 1998, the Court held a conference call with the           
          parties.  During that call, petitioner agreed that if he were               
          unable to or failed to provide documents to respondent with                 
          respect to the issues in the case, petitioner would concede the             
          issue or item for which no documentation was presented.  The                
          Court directed petitioner to provide the Court and respondent               
          with a written outline of a plan to make petitioner's documents,            
          which were located in Connecticut, available to respondent within           
          90 days.  The plan was to be presented to the Court and                     
          respondent at calendar call on May 4, 1998.
