STIPULATION WITHDRAWING SERVICE OF THELEN’S COUNTER-COUNTERCLAIMS ON SUSANNAH 

MAAS AND WITHDRAWING MAAS’S MOTION TO DISMISS THELEN’S COUNTER-COUNTERCLAIMS 385514.01 

Counter-Counter-Claimant Thelen Reid Brown Raysman & Steiner LLP (formerly 

known as Thelen Reid & Priest LLP) (“Thelen”) and Counter-Counter-Defendant Susannah 

Maas (“Maas”) hereby stipulate to the following under Civil Local Rules 7-1(a)(5) and 7-12: 

 WHEREAS, on September 29, 2006, Thelen filed its Counter-Counterclaims against 

Maas (Docket No. 38); 

 WHEREAS, on October 9, 2006, Maas received via Federal Express a Summons and 

Thelen’s Counter-Counterclaims (Docket Nos. 43 and 44); 

 WHEREAS, on November 14, 2006, Maas moved to dismiss Thelen’s CounterCounterclaims, arguing, inter alia, that Thelen did not properly serve its Counter-Counterclaims 

on Maas via the Hague Convention (Docket No. 62); 

 WHEREAS, on November 27, 2006, Defendant, Counter-Claimant, and CounterCounter-Defendant Francois Marland (“Marland”) filed and served a Revised Amended Answer 

and Counterclaims (Docket No. 72); 

 WHEREAS, on December 1, 2006, Thelen filed an Answer to Marland’s Revised 

Amended Counterclaims and Amended Counter-Counterclaims against Marland and Maas 

(Docket No. 78); 

 WHEREAS, Maas’s Motion to Dismiss Thelen’s original Counter-Counterclaims 

currently is set for hearing on January 11, 2007 (Docket No. 62); and 

 WHEREAS, Maas’s Motion to Dismiss (Docket No. 62) is now moot since it seeks to 

dismiss Thelen’s original Counter-Counterclaims (Docket No. 38), which are no longer 

operative. 

 THEREFORE, the Thelen and Maas hereby stipulate that: 

 (1) Thelen hereby withdraws service of its original Counter-Counterclaims on Maas 

without any admission as to whether that service was legally effective or ineffective; and 

 (2) Maas hereby withdraws her pending Motion to Dismiss Thelen’s original CounterCounterclaims (Docket No. 62) without any admission as to whether service of Thelen’s original 

Counter-Counterclaims was legally effective or ineffective and without any prejudice to reraising any of the arguments contained therein in the future; and
