Pursuant to Civil L. R. 7-12, plaintiffs NATIONAL UNION FIRE INSURANCE 

COMPANY OF PITTSBURGH, PA (“National Union”), AMERICAN 

INTERNATIONAL UNDERWRITERS INSURANCE COMPANY (“AIU”), 

AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL SPECIALTY LINES INSURANCE COMPANY 

(“AISLIC”) and defendant SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY, INC. (“Seagate”) file this 

Stipulation and [Proposed] Order to permit National Union’s and AIU’s counsel to 

appear telephonically for the October 15, 2007 Status Conference in the above-captioned 

matter. 

Due to a previously scheduled court appearance in another matter that requires his 

personal presence in New Jersey on October 16, 2007, National Union and AIU have 

advised counsel for AISLIC and Seagate that their counsel, Mark D. Sheridan, is unable 

to personally attend the October 15 Status Conference in this matter and still return to 

New Jersey in time for his October 16 appearance. Further, attorney Cheryl A. Sabnis, 

who has previously appeared in this action is unable to appear on October 15, due to a 

previously scheduled deposition in another matter. Additionally, as Mr. Sheridan argued 

on behalf of National Union and AIU at the summary judgment hearing previously had in 

this matter and it is anticipated the ruling on these motions will be the main subject of 

discussion at the October 15 conference, Mr. Sheridan’s attendance is necessary to 

adequately represent National Union’s and AIU’s interests at this status conference. 

Counsel for Seagate and AISLIC have stated that they have no objection to Mr. 

Sheridan’s telephonic appearance. 

As such, the parties stipulate that Mr. Sheridan may appear telephonically at the 

October 15, 2007, status conference in this matter.

 The parties have Stipulated to permit Plaintiff's counsel to appear telephonically at the

accommodate the request and prefers to have all relevant parties personally present for the status 

conference. Accordingly, based on the representations above, the Court continues the Status 

Conference to October 22, 2007 at 10 AM to accommodate counsel's schedule.
