IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by the parties through their respective 

counsel, that Counter-Defendants Grateful Dead Productions; Cadestansa LLC, a limited liability 

company on behalf of Carlos Santana; Jimmy Page; Robert Plant; John Paul Jones; Raymond 

Manzarek; Robby Krieger; John Densmore; Pearl Courson; George Morrison; Fantality Corp.; Sony 

BMG Music Entertainment; BMG Music; Arista Records; Robert Weir; Warner Music Group Corp.; 

Rhino Entertainment Company; and Bravado International Group, Inc. shall have a second extension 

of time of 15 days, up to and including December 18, 2007, to answer, move, or otherwise respond to 

the First Amended Counterclaims filed by Counterclaimants William E. Sagan; Norton LLC; and Bill 

Graham Archives LLC d/b/a Wolfgang’s Vault. 

Good cause exists for extending the time by which the Counter-Defendants must move, 

answer, or otherwise respond to Counterclaimants’ First Amended Counterclaims. On November 20, 

2007, the parties filed a Stipulation and [Proposed] Order To Stay Case Until April 1, 2008 To Allow 

Parties To Devote Time And Energy To Mediate Dispute (“Stipulation to Stay Case”). See Docket 

#165. If the Court enters the Stipulation to Stay Case, the deadline for Counter-Defendants to 

respond to Counterclaimants’ First Amended Counterclaims will be adjusted per the terms of that 

Stipulation, as will several other deadlines. Currently, however, Counter-Defendants have only until 

December 3, 2007 to respond to the First Amended Counterclaims. If the Court does not enter the 

Stipulation to Stay Case prior to December 3, 2007, Counter-Defendants will require additional time 

to evaluate their response to the First Amended Counterclaims, which contain numerous factual 

allegations and eleven counterclaims. Therefore, the parties agree, subject to the approval of this 

Court, that Counter-Defendants should have an additional 15 days to move, answer, or otherwise 

respond to Counterclaimants’ First Amended Counterclaims. This extension will have no material 

effect on the schedule for this case. 

The Counter-Defendants have requested, and this Court has approved, one previous extension 

of time for Counter-Defendants to respond to Counterclaimants’ First Amended Counterclaims. See

Docket #164 (approving the parties’ stipulation granting the Counter-Defendants a first extension of 

time of 14 days – up to and including December 3, 2007 – to move, answer, or otherwise respond to 

Counterclaimants’ First Amended Counterclaims). Pursuant to Local Rule 6-2(a), other time
