Stipulation Extending the Deadline 2 2119868.1

to a new deadline of February 1, 2007. This is the parties’ first request for an extension of this

deadline. If the Court approves this stipulation, it will not impact any of the other deadlines.

After reviewing Hargrove & Costanzo’s answer to the counterclaim, the Government

promptly sent discovery to Hargrove & Costanzo. Hargrove & Costanzo’s discovery responses,

which were due on December 26, 2006, may give rise to an amended Government counterclaim. 

Hargrove & Costanzo requested an extension, until January 12, 2007, to respond to the

Government’s discovery. The parties agreed to this discovery extension and agreed to an

extension until February 1, 2007 to file an amended pleading or to file a motion requesting leave

to amend a pleading. Thus, the parties respectfully request that this stipulation be approved by

the Court.

Respectfully submitted,
