The Status (pretrial scheduling) Conference -2- Case no. 2:06-cv-957

respectfully submit the following stipulation and request:

1. The Plaintiffs filed their original complaint on May 1, 2006. The Plaintiffsfiled a first

amended complaint on May 10, 2006. Other than the stipulation referenced below, no previous time

modifications in this case were requested or granted.

2. The Parties request that this Court continue the initial Status Conference, presently

scheduled for July 31, 2006, and to continue the deadline to submit the Joint Status Report, by thirty

(30) days pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 6(a). The continuance is requested because

the Parties are attempting to resolve a range of procedural and substantive issues including the

appropriateness of whether some of the named defendants in this action should or should not be

dismissed, to confirm which defendants, if any, have been properly served and to clarify the issue

of subject matter jurisdiction. On July 12, 2006, the Parties entered into a stipulation extending time

for defendants to file a responsive pleading by 30 days so that the Parties may attempt to resolve

these issues informally and in good faith.

3. Good cause exists to grant the continuance because it would save the Parties and the

Court resources and time if the Parties can resolve the foregoing issues informally. In addition, the

Parties believe that the initial Status Conference and a Rule 26(f) meeting would not be productive

or as productive unless the foregoing issues are first addressed and resolved. Continuance is also

appropriate because it will have only a minimal effect on the scheduling of this case.
