Case No.: No. 05-2142 PJH 

Declaration in Support of Stipulated Request 

for Order to Reschedule Case Management 

Conference to January 25, 2006 

 In support of the parties’ Stipulated Request for Order to Reschedule Case Management 

Conference to January 25, 2006, Allison Lurton, Counsel for Plaintiff, Commodity Futures 

Trading Commission, declares as follows: 

 1. On June 1, 2005, the Court set an initial case management conference in this case 

for September 22, 2005. 

 2. On September 9, 2005, the parties filed a stipulated request for the Court to order 

the rescheduling of the case management conference to December 15, 2005. The parties request 

was based upon the fact that the amended complaint was not due to the Court until after the case

management conference and, therefore, the parties believed that the conference would be 

premature. 

 2. On September 12, 2005, the Court entered an order rescheduling the case 

management conference for December 15, 2005. 

 3. The parties believe that a case management conference would still be premature 

in this case if held in December. Specifically, the parties believe that the Temporary Receiver 

will provide valuable information to the parties concerning the assets at issue in this case and that 

such information will be useful in creating a schedule for this case. The parties believe that 

postponing the conference will allow the Temporary Receiver additional time in which to gather 

information and potentially allow the parties to better inform the Court as to an appropriate 

schedule. 

 4. Furthermore, on November 29, 2005, the parties filed a stipulated request for a 

Court order rescheduling the hearing on Defendants’ motion to dismiss, presently scheduled for 

December 21, 2005, to January 25, 2006. The parties believe that the most efficient way of 

proceeding in this case would be to conduct the hearing on Defendants’ pending motion to 

dismiss on the same day as the case management conference. 

 6. Accordingly, the parties respectfully request that the case management conference 

be rescheduled from December 15, 2005 to January 25, 2006. 

 7. As indicated in paragraph 2 above, previous time modifications in this case 

include the rescheduling of the case management conference from September 22, 2005, to 

December 15, 2005. Also, the Court previously extended the deadline by which the parties are 

to complete mediation from December 15, 2005 to February 15, 2006. 

 8. This request to reschedule the case management conference is expected to aid the 

parties in the overall determination for a schedule for this case. For this reason, the requested 

rescheduling is not expected to negatively impact in a significant way the schedule of this case.
