to Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint until 15 days after the Court issues its Order on 

Plaintiff’s motion to remand this case to Sacramento County Superior Court. Plaintiff’s First 

Amended Complaint was filed and served on Powerex Corp. on November 9, 2005, and 

Plaintiff’s Motion to Remand this case to Sacramento County Superior Court is scheduled to be 

heard on December 19, 2005 at 9:00 a.m. in Department 10 of this Court. Plaintiff California 

Department of Water Resources stipulates to the extension of time for Powerex Corp. to file its 

response to the Amended Complaint. 

Counsel for all parties agree that extending the deadline for Powerex Corp. to respond to 

Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint as requested hereinabove would promote judicial economy 

and be in the best interests of both the parties and the Court given the fact that, should this matter 

be remanded to Sacramento County Superior Court following the December 19, 2005 hearing on 

Plaintiff’s Motion to Remand, it will not be necessary for Defendant to file any responsive 

pleading in this Court. 

Based on the foregoing, the parties respectfully request that the Court issue an Order 

extending the deadline for Powerex Corp. to file and serve its response to Plaintiff’s First 

Amended Complaint until 15 days after this Court issues its ruling on Plaintiff’s motion to 

remand the matter to Sacramento County Superior Court.
