STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

CASE NO. 2:07-CV-01989-LEW-JFM 1 

sf-2438376 

STIPULATION 

Plaintiff filed his First Amended Complaint on November 5, 2007. Defendants responded 

on December 6, 2007, moving to dismiss all claims. The parties subsequently met and conferred 

regarding the motions to dismiss. Plaintiff requested the opportunity to file an amended 

complaint and requested that Defendants withdraw their motions to dismiss in the interim. 

Defendants agreed, conditioned on an extension of the Rule 26 conference date until such time as 

Defendants have had the opportunity to review the amended complaint. Plaintiff agreed. 

The parties therefore stipulate and request the entry of an order as follows: 

1. Plaintiff will file an amended complaint no later than December 31, 2007. 

2. Defendants withdraw their motions to dismiss, without prejudice to renewing such 

motions after reviewing Plaintiff’s amended complaint. Defendants will file a responsive 

pleading to the second amended complaint no later than January 22, 2008. 

3. The deadline for the Rule 26(f) report required by the Court’s September 24, 2007 

Order Requiring Joint Status Report shall be extended to February 29, 2008. 

Dated: December 14, 2007 MORRISON & FOERSTER LLP
