08/01/2016208Order requiring clarification of amended stipulation. Paragraphs nn and oo of the parties' amended stipulation refer to interest payments CEOC made on "December 1, 2015." Because these paragraphs are in a self-described "chronology" and appear in the midst of other paragraphs addressing events in 2014, it seems likely that "2015" is a typographical error, and the correct dates should be "December 1, 2014". On or before August 8, 2016, the parties are directed to file a short joint statement clarifying whether the dates in paragraphs nn and oo are correct or should be December 1, 2014 (RE: 179Amended Stipulation).
