Case No. C07-01587-JL

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

FOR SETTING OF HEARING DATE

Portlnd3-1612225.1 0049553-00141

The parties jointly stipulate to and request a hearing be set on January 23, 2008 at 9:00

a.m. to address the following issues: (1) plaintiff’s request that he be substituted for George S.

Trevor as counsel in this action and that he be permitted to proceed pro se; and (2) defendant’s

request that its deposition of plaintiff proceed as mutually agreed and noticed on January 29, 2008.

In addition, defendant separately requests that in the same hearing the Court will consider

defendant’s request that plaintiff be compelled to answer defendant’s interrogatories Nos. 1 and 2.

Due to the fact that plaintiff is currently out of the country, counsel for plaintiff has not

been able to communicate with plaintiff about this request for a hearing date on shortened time.

Therefore, counsel takes no position on whether plaintiff agrees that a hearing on shortened time is

appropriate on the two issues on which defendant seeks relief.

Plaintiff further requests that any response that a party may wish to submit on the three

matters to be heard on January 23, 2008 may be filed by 5:00 p.m. on January 18, 2008. Counsel

for plaintiff further requests permission to submit a response under seal for in camera review

relating to plaintiff’s request to proceed pro se. This request is necessary since certain matters

relating to this request involve attorney-client communications that are protected from disclosure

to defendant.
