9. San Diego and its surrounding areas were consumed by wildfires the week of 

October 22nd through the 26th. Many residential areas were evacuated and thousands of people 

were displaced from their homes. Plaintiffs’ San Diego office was closed Monday through 

Wednesday and operated with only a skeleton crew for the remainder of the week. Given this 

unforeseeable situation, the parties have further agreed that plaintiffs must file their Consolidated 

Opposition to Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss by November 9, 2007, and the defendants must reply 

by December 10, 2007. 

THEREFORE, IT IS STIPULATED AND AGREED by plaintiffs and defendants, through 

their respective counsel of record, as follows: 

1. Plaintiffs shall have up to and including November 9, 2007 to file their Consolidated 

Opposition to Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss, not to exceed 50 pages in length; 

2. Defendants shall have up to and including December 10, 2007 to file a reply to 

plaintiffs’ opposition; and 

3. The hearing regarding defendants’ motion(s) to dismiss will be scheduled for 

January 14, 2007, or whatever date this Court deems appropriate. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
