          Several discussions and a few meetings took place between Ms.               
          Pearson and Mr. Luger.  Petitioner accompanied Ms. Pearson to one           
          of the meetings between her and Mr. Luger, at which time Mr.                
          Luger noticed that petitioner was limping.  Shortly after those             
          discussions and meetings, petitioner and Mr. Rodman reached a               
          settlement.
