Pursuant to Civil L.R. 6-1(b) and 7-12, Plaintiff United States of America and 

Counterdefendants United States Department of Homeland Security and Janet Napolitano, in her 

capacity as Secretary of United States Department of Homeland Security (collectively “United 

States”), on the one hand, and Defendants/Counterclaimants Gonzales & Gonzales Bonds and 

Insurance Agency, Inc. and American Surety Company, Inc. (“G&G/ASC”), on the other hand, 

by and through their respective counsel of record, stipulate and agree as follows: 

1. On April 12, 2010, the Court heard oral argument concerning (1) the 

Government’s motion to dismiss G&G/ASC’s counterclaim, and (2) G&G/ASC’s motion for a 

judicial determination regarding the nature of the claims at issue, the appropriate standard of 

review, and the scope of allowable discovery. 

2. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Court ordered “further briefing re 103.1 f (2) 

to be filed within two weeks (eight pages), with responsive pleadings (3 pages) to be filed one 

week thereafter.” 

3. On April 26, 2010, the Government filed its supplemental brief and supporting 

declarations and exhibits. G&G/ASC contends that the Government’s brief and supporting 

materials address issues that exceed the Court’s Order. The Government disagrees with 

G&G/ASC’s contention. 

4. In order to avoid a dispute at this time, the parties agree as follows: 

a. G&G/ASC shall be permitted a one week extension to file its response to 

the Government’s brief and supporting materials. Accordingly, the current May 3, 2010 deadline 

shall be extended to May 10, 2010; and 

b. the current 3 page limit for G&G/ASC’s response shall be extended to 8 

pages. 

 5. This stipulation shall not act or be construed as an admission by the Government 

that its brief and supporting materials exceed the Court’s Order. Nor shall this stipulation act or 

be construed as an admission by G&G/ASC that the Government’s brief and supporting materials 

are within the scope of the Court’s Order.
