ORDER GRANTIND JOINT MOTION 

TO RESET BRIEFING SCHEDULE 

Plaintiffs, CARL MERNER (“Carl”) and MERNER LAND COMPANY (“MLC”), 

by and through their attorney of record, Joseph J. Wiseman, Esq. and defendant, PETER W. 

MERNER (“Peter”), through his counsel of record, John P. Desmond, Esq., jointly move 

this court for an order resetting the briefing schedule regarding the claims remaining in this 

action as follows: on or before April 30, 2006 plaintiffs shall file a Supplemental 

Memorandum of Points and Authorities addressing the specific issue of whether they are 

entitled to summary judgment and injunctive relief preventing Peter from selling his stock in 

MLC to a non-qualifying entity, because such sale would breach his implied promise not to 

do so and violate the covenant of good faith and fair dealing. 

Defendant shall file his opposition on or before May 30, 2006. Plaintiffs’ reply, if 

any, shall be filed on or before June 10, 2006.

The parties are making this joint request on the grounds that three key depositions 

have been scheduled as follows: 

• March 21, 2006, at 9:30 a.m. in Reno, Nevada: Peter Merner 

• March 22, 2006, at 9:30 a.m. in Reno, Nevada: John LaGatta 

• March 23, 2006, at 9:30 a.m. in Reno, Nevada: Carl Merner 

The parties have exercised diligence in complying with the Stipulated Briefing 

Scheduled approved by the court on January 12, 2006, but due to their counsels’ calendar 

conflicts, were unable to schedule the depositions in time to allow them to file their 

pleadings within the time prescribed by the earlier schedule.
