This is the parties’ fourth stipulation to continue all dates regarding the parties’ respective crossmotions for summary judgment and order thereon. The Administrative Record was filed with the Court

on October 20, 2006. Plaintiffs’ counsel is a sole practioner. Plaintiffs’ counsel’s mother-in-law passed

away during the Thanksgiving holiday week and because of his hectic schedule afterwards has allowed

no time to properly prepare the Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment and Plaintiffs’ counsel has

respectfully sought and received a three week extension of time in which to prepare and file said motion.
