CONFERENCE

SchedulingConference Date: March 17, 2010

For GOOD CAUSE, the parties hereby stipulate to and respectfully request that the Court

continue the Scheduling Conference currently set for March 17, 2010, to May 26, 2010. 

This GOOD CAUSE includes, without limitation, the following:

1. The Court has scheduled a hearing for Defendant Calcot’s Motion for a Protective

Order on April 16, 2010.

2. Defendant Calcot is making its best effort to file a motion to modify and/or clarify the

class definition in the proposed class on or about March 15, 2010.

3. The parties have agreed to provide their initial disclosures on the merits of the case

on or about April 30, 2010. Defendant Calcot believes that the disclosure date should

be moved if the Court does not rule on the Motion for a Protective Order on or before

April 16, 2010. Plaintiffs have taken a position that the initial disclosure should not

be tied to the protective order and the parties have agreed to address the issue in the

event that the Court has not ruled by April 16, 2010.

4. The agree that Plaintiffs may serve a single request for production on Defendant Eadie

& Payne seeking the insurance policies for all years subject to the class action so that

this dispute may be brought to resolution, if need be, with the Court’s assistance. 

5. The parties agree that now that Defendant Calcot has filed for a protective order, it is

best to see if that motion or related meet and confer, may resolve the issue before the

next status conference. Further, since Defendant Calcot has moved to clarify the class

definition, it appears unproductive to address furtherthe issue of class notice until that

is resolved.

Therefore, the parties respectfully request the Court continue the Scheduling Conference

currently set for March 17, 2010, to May 26, 2010.
