STIPULATION

1. This Court has ordered Plaintiff and Defendants (collectively, 

the “Parties”) to complete mediation by October 14, 2006. The Parties believed 

that mediation would not be useful until Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss was 

decided, which did not occur until September 26, 2006. See Order Granting 

Motion to Dismiss; Denying Motion to Strike; Vacating Hearing. Accordingly, 

and as a result of the Motion, the Parties now agree that the time is right for 

mediation, but believe that an extension of the deadline is necessary to prepare 

adequately.

2. Under Local Rule 6.2, the parties may stipulate to a request 

for “an order changing time that would affect the date of an event or deadline 

already fixed by Court order.” Accordingly, the parties, by and through their 

respective counsel of record, hereby stipulate and agree to extend the time to 

complete the Court-ordered mediation process from October 14, 2006 to 

November 14, 2006.
