	Diocese, Abuse Victims May Be Close to Settlement Associated Press, carried in Monterey Herald September 7, 2007 http://www.montereyherald.com/state/ci_6827449?nclick_check=1 SAN DIEGO—Negotiators are gathering for what may be the last hours of talks between San Diego's Roman Catholic diocese and lawyers representing people who say they were sexually abused by priests. The two sides met yesterday for a marathon 11-hour session before a federal magistrate judge. The diocese has been under increased pressure to settle after a bankruptcy judge threatened to dismiss its case if an agreement isn't struck by next Tuesday. The diocese has offered about $95 million to settle about 150 abuse claims. Victims are seeking about $200 million.
