STIPULATION

On November 9, 2007, counsel for the parties to the above-entitled action participated in an

ADR telephone conference regarding mediation of this matter. Previously, the Court granted the

parties request to extend the ADR deadline in this case to October 8, 2007. The Court recently

granted the parties request to continue the pre-trial and trial dates in this matter due to the substantial

discovery remaining to be completed.

After meeting and confer with each other, and participating in an ADR telephone conference,

counsel for the parties respectfully request that the ADR deadline to conduct mediation be further

extended. Both sides remain entrenched in their respective positions. Counsel for the Defendants

indicated to the Court at the Initial Case Management Conference that they intend to file a dispositive

Motion for Summary Judgment against the Plaintiffs. The parties continue to believe ADR will be

ineffective until after dispositive motions have been filed and decided. In the event that dispositive

motions do not terminate this action, the parties respectfully request that they be allowed to

participate in mediation through the Court’s ADR process following rulings on such dispositive

motions as may be filed in this matter.

SO STIPULATED.
