corresponding extension of time for Globalstar to file and serve its reply brief in support of its 

Motion to Dismiss; 

WHEREAS, on April 5, 2007, Plaintiffs filed their class action complaint against Globalstar, 

Inc. (“Globalstar”); 

WHEREAS, on or about the week of April 16, 2007, counsel for Globalstar contacted 

counsel for Plaintiffs and requested an extension of time to July 2, 2007 to answer the Complaint. 

Plaintiffs consented to Globalstar’s request and a Stipulation and [Proposed] Order Extending 

Deadline to Respond to Complaint was filed on May 2, 2007. The parties also respectfully requested 

that the Court vacate certain of the deadlines set by the April 5, 2007 Order Setting Initial Case 

Management Conference and ADR Deadlines, and re-set them by an additional thirty days. The 

Court entered the Order on May 3, 2007 with some modifications to the CMC deadlines. There have 

been no other time modifications in this case; 

WHEREAS, on June 29, 2007, Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint; 

WHEREAS, late Friday, July 6, 2007, Globalstar filed its Motion to Dismiss the Amended 

Complaint; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs’ opposition to Globalstar’s Motion to Dismiss is currently due July 

23, 2007 and Defendant’s reply is currently due July 30, 2007; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs seek a brief, three-week extension to file their opposition brief to 

August 13, 2007; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs believe Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss raises many complex legal

evaluate the issues raised by Globalstar and to prepare their response, and will be substantially 

harmed if the request is not approved; 

WHEREAS, this is the first request by Plaintiffs for an enlargement of time; 

WHEREAS, if the Court approves the parties’ stipulated request to extend the deadline for 

Plaintiffs to file their opposition brief to August 13, 2007, then the parties seek a corresponding 

extension for Globalstar to file and serve its reply brief, to August 27, 2007;

same day as the hearing on the Motion to Dismiss to promote efficiency, and accommodate the 

schedules of the parties;

weeks to meet and confer regarding initial disclosures, early settlement, ADR process selection,
