AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

Hon. Saundra B. Armstrong 

 

 The Court has currently scheduled a deadline for Early Neutral Evaluation (“ENE”) of March 6,

Neutral Evaluator, Mr. Claude M. Stern, and consistent with the guidance of the ADR administrator to this 

case, the parties to the above-entitled action hereby jointly stipulate that the deadline for ENE be 

extended to April 20, 2007 and request that the Court enter an order accordingly.
