 2.  On  October  13,  2005,  Complainants  IMR,  Indiana  and  National  filed  motions  requesting  that  we  dismiss  the  applicable  formal  complaint  in  this  proceeding  with  prejudice,  as  the  parties  have  settled  their

 resolution  of  disputes  and  eliminating  the  expenditure  of  further  time  and  resources  of  the  parties  and  the  Commission.
