The Masters’ Report in this matter was filed with this court on April 2, 2004. Pursuant to Ark. R. Civ. P. 53(e)(2), the parties have served written objections to the Report which we have received. Accordingly, we have taken the matter under advisement, as noted in our per curiam of April 2, 2004. Should the parties wish to do so, they may file simultaneous briefs by Thursday, May 13, 2004. No reply briefs will be allowed. The briefs should only address any objection to the Masters’ Report already made and filed by that party, including whether or not this court should continue its jurisdiction in the matter. We will also receive requests by any party wishing to participate in oral arguments to be held Thursday, May 20, 2004. Amicus Curiae will not be permitted to participate in oral argument.
