STIPULATION AND ORDER RE: CONTINUANCE OF CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

THE PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD:

1. A case management conference is presently scheduled for December 19, 2007, at

2:30 p.m., before Magistrate Judge Richard Seeborg.

2. This matter is presently not at-issue. On December 4, 2007, Defendants and

Counterclaimants LEWIS FAMILY ENTERPRISES, INC. and STEVEN ROBERT LEWIS

filed an Answer to Plaintiff’s Complaint, as well as a Counterclaim naming as

Counterdefendants two new parties who now have yet appeared in this matter: FORD

MOTOR COMPANY, a Delaware corporation, and CAPITOL EXPRESSWAY FORD, INC.,

a Delaware corporation. It is anticipated that new counsel will enter the matter on behalf

of these new parties. Per Defendants’ and Counterclaimants’ counsel, service is being

immediately effected on the two new parties such that their responsive pleadings should

be due by approximately the end of December 2007.

3. The parties presently in the case believe a case management conference at this

time would be premature given the absence of counsel or responsive pleadings from the

two new parties. The preparation of a joint case management conference statement is

likewise presently hindered without all of the parties involved.

STIPULATION AND ORDER RE: CONTINUANCE OF CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

4. The parties accordingly submit that in the interests of judicial economy, a brief

continuance of the case management conference - perhaps 45 to 60 days - would be

beneficial, and request the same of this Court.
