Plaintiffs, Defendant Istituto per le Opere di Religione (“IOR”), and Defendant Order of Friars

follows:

1. On March 20, 2006, Defendants filed motions to dismiss in the above-captioned matter. 

Docket Nos. 270-72. Defendants also filed the Declaration of Professor Settimio Carmignani Caridi

(“Caridi Declaration”) in support of their motions to dismiss. Docket Nos. 273, 275. On March 24,

Stipulation and [Proposed] Order re: Briefing and

Hearing Schedule

Alperin v. IOR, Case No. C 99-04941 MMC (EDL) 2

Judge. Docket No. 280.

2. Following the referral to Magistrate Judge Laporte, counsel for the IOR Jeffrey S. Lena

and counsel for Plaintiffs Jonathan H. Levy met and conferred regarding briefing related to Plaintiffs’

Rule 44.1 Motion and to clarify whether Plaintiffs intended to file any additional motions prior to the

April 17, 2006 motion deadline set by Judge Chesney. See Stipulation and Order dated March 6, 2006,

Docket No. 266. Plaintiffs’ counsel informed the IOR’s counsel that Plaintiffs intended to file a

discovery motion on or before April 17, 2006, requesting certain discovery in connection with

Defendants’ motions to dismiss.

3. In light of the efficiency of briefing and hearing Plaintiffs’ two motions together,

particularly since both motions will address matters related to the same motions to dismiss, and given

that the parties had previously agreed that Defendants would have 30 days to respond to any discovery

motions (see Docket No. 266), the parties have agreed to resolve any potential dispute related to the

filing of two motions and enter into the following agreement:

a. The filing deadline for Plaintiffs’ motion for discovery shall be April 17, 2006. 

b. The filing deadline for Defendants’ oppositions to Plaintiffs’ Rule 44.1 Motion

and Plaintiffs’ motion for discovery shall be May 17, 2006. 

c. The filing deadline for Plaintiffs’ reply briefs shall be May 29, 2006.
