January 17, 2006, and March 20, 2006.

The grounds for this stipulated request are:

1. The parties have engaged in good faith in the discovery process and Plaintiff has

taken two depositions. However, the parties are working cooperatively to determine the date and

logistics for taking the deposition of Plaintiff, Carol West, who is currently living in France. The

parties believe that Ms. West can be deposed by January 17, 2006.

Continuing the discovery deadline and motion hearing date is not requested for the

purposes of delay. Rather, the continuance of these dates will allow the parties sufficient time in

which to effectively conclude the discovery process and to thereafter present sufficient evidence

to the Court for resolution of this issues in this case.

Accordingly, the parties respectfully request that the Court continue the discovery

deadline and motion hearing date to January 17, 2006, and March 20, 2006, at 2:00 p.m.

respectively.
