File Amended Complaint from its current date of October 11, 2004 to October 24, 2004 at 9:00 

a.m. All parties agree to the proposed new hearing date. 

Counsel for all parties stipulate that good cause exists to continue the hearing date on this 

motion because counsel for Powerex Corp., Andrew Edison of Bracewell & Giuliani LLP, whose 

office is in Houston, Texas, was among the 2 million residents of the Houston metropolitan area 

forced to evacuate the city late last week due to Hurricane Rita. Due to this evacuation, Mr. 

Edison has been without access to file materials, research and support staff necessary to comply 

with the current deadline of Tuesday, September 27, 2005 to file Powerex Corp.’s points and 

authorities in opposition to Plaintiff’s motion. Accordingly, all parties agree that it is in the 

interests of justice to continue the hearing on this matter to October 24, 2005 so that Powerex 

Corp.’s counsel will have sufficient time to prepare and file its opposition brief. 

Based on the foregoing, the parties respectfully request that the Court issue an Order 

continuing the hearing on Plaintiff’s Motion to Alter Or Amend Judgment and for Leave to File 

Amended Complaint to October 24, 2004 at 9:00 a.m. in Department 10 of this Court. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
