CASE NO. CV-01449 DFL GGH

DECLARATION OF STEPHEN J.

MACKEY IN SUPPORT OF

STIPULATION TO EXTEND

DEADLINE TO FILE AND SERVE

JOINT STATUS CONFERENCE

STATEMENT

I am an attorney licensed to practice before all of the courts of the State of

California and before the United States District Court, Eastern District of California, and

my firm Donahue Bates Blakemore & Mackey represents Defendant Granite City Tool

Co., in the above-entitled matter.

We have only very recently become involved in the defense of this matter, first

learning of the litigation on or about September 7, 2005, and are attempting to investigate

the facts and circumstances surrounding this litigation as expeditiously as possible. 

However, we need more time to gather sufficient information to meaningfully confer with

opposing counsel to prepare as accurate and complete joint status conference report as

possible. In part, the need for additional time is based on geographical concerns. While 

Plaintiff is located in Loomis, California, defendant Granite City Tool Co., is

incorporated in Minnesota and its principal place of business is located at 247 28th

Avenue South, Waite Park, Minnesota. In addition, Defendant’s response to Plaintiff’s

operative complaint is not due until September 15, 2005, so a brief extension of this

deadline would not seem to unduly delay progress on this litigation. Accordingly, I

believe that a brief extension of this deadline would be in the best interest of my client,

and that a brief extension may actually save the court’s time and the time and money of

the parties. 

On September 14, 2005, I spoke by telephone with attorney Rajiv Dharnidharka, of

the law firm of DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Carey US LLP, counsel representing plaintiff

Omega Diamond, Inc., in the above entitled action. Mr. Dharnidharka initially broached

the subject of seeking this extension and advised that on behalf of his client that a twoweek extension of the deadline within which to file and served the joint status conference

statement would be in the best interest of his client.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct, is based

upon my personal knowledge of the facts set forth herein, and that if called upon to testify

to the facts set forth in this declaration, I could do so competently.
