 The parties, by and through their counsel of record, hereby stipulate as 

follows:

1. This action was initiated on April 14, 2006, by filing of a 

“Complaint for Damages”. The Complaint was amended on June 12, 2006. 

2. On July 13, 2006, Defendants filed a Motion to Strike and a Motion 

to Dismiss. On September 26, 2006, the Court ruled on those motions, denying 

the motion to strike and granting portions of the motion to dismiss with leave to 

amend.

3. On October 16, 2006, Plaintiff filed its “Second Amended 

Complaint for Damages”. Defendants have advised that they intend to respond to 

that pleading with additional motion practice, which motion will be set for hearing 

on December 15, 2006. 

4. As the case is not yet at issue, a further case management conference 

at this stage is premature. The parties therefore agree to continue the case 

management conference to December 15, 2006, the same date proposed for 

hearing on the motion to be filed by Defendants. 

SO STIPULATED.
