WHEREAS, such order requires Plaintiffs to file their Motion for Summary Judgment in this 

action by December 22, 2006 and sets a briefing schedule for the completion of this action; 

WHEREAS, on December 19, 2006, Plaintiffs filed a stipulation, signed by all parties, and 

proposed order extending the deadlines contained in the briefing schedule. 

WHEREAS, as set forth in the stipulation, Plaintiffs and Federal Defendants have engaged in 

further settlement discussions and believe there is a high likelihood of settling this action; 

WHEREAS, on December 20, 2006, the Honorable Oliver W. Wanger signed the proposed 

order thereby postponing the deadline for Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary Judgment until January 26, 

2007 and modifying the remaining briefing schedule; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs and Federal Defendants continue to discuss the possibility of 

settlement and believe such discussions should be concluded by March 16, 2007;

discussions may result in inefficient use of both counsels’ and the judiciary’s resources; 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and among the parties, through their 

respective counsel, that the current January 26, 2007 deadline for Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary 

Judgment in this action be postponed until March 16, 2007, and the remaining briefing schedule be
