August 22, 2008. Federal Defendants will file an opposition to Plaintiff’s motion on or before 

August 1. The Parties to the above captioned matter, through their attorneys of record: James L. 

Buchal, for Plaintiff, and Robert P. Williams, for Federal Defendants, hereby stipulate that the 

Court may enter an order permitting the continuance of the CMC to August 22, 2008, thus 

combining the two matters. 

The basis for this stipulation is as follows: the vacation plans of Mr. Buchal and the desire 

of the Parties to minimize burden to the Court and themselves. This case is an Administrative 

Record review case, which the Parties anticipate will be resolved without the need for discovery and 

through cross-motions for summary judgment. The Parties therefore are confident that the matters 

to be discussed and resolved during the CMC and the hearing on Plaintiff’s motion can be 

adequately addressed by telephone. Lead counsel for both Parties also reside out-of-state, and 

therefore granting this request would save considerable time and expense for the Parties. Therefore, 

pursuant to Local Rule 16-10(a), the Parties hereby request permission to participate in the CMC 

and in the hearing on Plaintiff’s motion by telephone. For the foregoing reasons the parties request 

that this court execute the Order below. 

Respectfully submitted this July 25, 2008,
