STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

TO EXTEND CERTAIN PRETRIAL DATES

• Close of Expert Discovery: May 31, 2007 

• Last Day to File Dispositive Motions: June 8, 2007 

• Last Day to Hear Dispositive Motions: July 20, 2007 

• Pretrial Conference: September 7, 2007 

• Trial: October 2, 2007 

2. To enable the parties to devote their resources to settlement discussions, the parties 

stipulated to, and on May 31, 2007 the Court issued an order approving, an extension of deadlines 

for the close of expert discovery, and for filing and hearing dispositive motions, as follows: 

• Close of Expert Discovery: June 26, 2007 

• Last Day to File Dispositive Motions: June 29, 2007 

• Last Date to Hear Dispositive Motions: August 10, 2007 

The Pretrial Conference Date and Trial Date were not affected by this Order. 

3. In light of progress made during a mediation session conducted by Mr. Martin 

Quinn of JAMS in San Francisco on June 14, 2007, Mr. Quinn recommended, and the parties 

agreed, that the prospects for settlement would be aided by a further order adjusting the pretrial 

schedule. On June 28, 2007, the Court issued an order approving the extension of deadlines as 

follows: 

• Close of Expert Discovery July 17, 2007 

• Last Day to File Dispositive Motions: July 20, 2007 

• Last Date to Hear Dispositive Motions: August 31, 2007 

• Pretrial Conference: September 14, 2007 

The Trial Date was not affected by this Order. 

4. On July 12, 2007, counsel were informed that due to the number of hearings 

already scheduled on the Court's calendar for August 31, 2007, the Court is not able to conduct a 

hearing on a motion for summary judgment on that date, that there are no other dates in August on 

which a hearing could be held, and that the next available hearing date is September 14, 2007, the 

same date on which the pretrial conference is currently scheduled.

TO EXTEND CERTAIN PRETRIAL DATES

5. Based on the foregoing, and on the recommendation of the Clerk with regard to 

rescheduling of the pretrial conference, the parties stipulate to, and request that the Court adopt, 

the following revised deadlines: 

• Revised Last Date to Hear Dispositive Motions September 14, 2007 

• Revised Date for Pretrial Conference September 21, 2007 

The parties also stipulate that the date for filing dispositive motions should be adjusted to 

harmonize the briefing schedule with the proposed revised motion hearing date, and that the date 

for completion of expert discovery should, consistent with prior orders, be set at three court days 

before the date for filing dispositive motions. Thus the parties request that the Court also include 

the following deadlines in its order: 

• Revised Close of Expert Discovery: August 7, 2007 

• Revised Last Day to File Dispositive Motions: August 10, 2007 

The Trial Date of October 2, 2007 would not be affected by these proposed revisions. 

6. Except as set forth herein, there have been modifications to or extensions of dates 

set forth in the pretrial schedule. 

 IT IS SO STIPULATED.
