 Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2 and in light of the accompanying declaration of Craig A. 

Hansen, the parties have reached an agreement to modify certain dates. None of these proposed 

modified dates are expected to alter the trial date in this case. On July 31, 2006, the Court entered its 

Amended Pretrial Preparation Order, setting deadlines leading up to the trial in this case. On 

November 14, 2006, the Court approved a stipulation changing some of those deadlines. Because 

discovery is not yet complete, and to allow experts access to the necessary information, the parties 

agree that certain upcoming deadlines should be altered as follows:

Non-expert discovery
