NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SAN FRANCISCO DIVISION 

THOMAS F. LENNON, as Receiver for 

The Rose Fund, LLC, The Rose Fund, Inc., and 

TRF Holdings, Inc., 

Plaintiff, 

vs.

EVAN MEAD STONE, 

 Defendant. 

Case No. C 04-04601 WHA 

STIPULATION TO EXTEND DISCOVERY 

CUTOFF AND RELATED DATES; ORDER 

THEREON

Plaintiff, Thomas F. Lennon, as Receiver for The Rose Fund, LLC, The Rose Fund, Inc., 

and TRF Holdings, Inc. ("Lennon") and defendant, Evan Mead Stone ("Stone"), stipulate as 

follows: 

1. On or about February 10, 2005, this Court issued its Case Management Order and 

reference to ADR Unit for Mediation setting forth deadlines for, iter alia, fact discovery, expert 

discovery, and pre-trial motions.

2. Lennon and Stone, as well as a representative of Stone's insurer participated in 

mediation on May 12, 2005. The session did not result in a settlement. On July 6, 2005, Stone's 

insurer initiated a declaratory relief action requesting a finding that it had no duty to indemnify 

Stone, or any other party.

3. As a result of the declaratory relief action, the parties believe that another attempt 

at mediation may be beneficial. In addition, due to the pending criminal investigations against the 

former principals of Rose Fund, issues have arisen as to whether Stone's deposition testimony will 

be impeded by the assertion of various privileges. Continuing the various discovery deadlines 

would allow the parties to pursue mediation before incurring substantial expert costs and allow 

time to address privilege issues with respect to Stone's testimony. The parties are not requesting a 

delay in the trial date. 

STIPULATION 

Lennon and Stone hereby stipulate to continuing the following deadlines: 

Continued Date Description 

10/3/05 Discovery cut off/ last date to designate experts and opening 

reports

10/17/05 Last date rebuttal experts and "opposition reports" 

10/24/05 Last date expert "reply reports" 

11/07/05 Expert discovery cutoff 

11/14/05 Last date to file dispositive motions before trial (no motions 

shall be heard more than 35 days after this deadline) 

Counsel for Lennon hereby attests that the content of this stipulation is acceptable to all 

persons required to sign.
