STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO EXTEND THE HEARING DATE FOR DISPOSITIVE MOTIONS

COBLENTZ, PATCH, DUFFY & BASS LLP ON E FERRY BUILDING , SUITE 200, SAN FRANCISCO , CALIFORNIA 94111-4213 

415.391.4800 • FA X 415.989.1663

WHEREAS, in its July 3, 2007 Order granting in part and denying in part Defendants' 

motion to extend expert discovery, summary judgment, and trial dates, the Court extended the 

hearing date on dispositive motions in this matter from September 7, 2007 to September 14, 2007; 

WHEREAS September 14, 2007 is the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah and it would 

therefore be unreasonably burdensome or impossible for some of Defendants' counsel, including 

the two attorneys principally responsible for representing Diomed Holdings, Inc. and Diomed, Inc. 

("Diomed") in this matter, to attend a hearing on that day; 

WHEREAS, the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur begins at sundown on the following 

Friday, September 21, 2007, and it would therefore also be unreasonably burdensome or 

impossible for some of Defendants' counsel, including the two attorneys principally responsible 

for representing Diomed in this matter, to attend a hearing that day as well; 

WHEREAS, subject to the Court's availability, and as long as extending the hearing date 

on dispositive motions will not affect the October 29, 2007 trial date, Plaintiff and Defendants 

have mutually agreed to several alternative hearing dates, including: (a) if the Court is willing to 

make an exception to the general rule that all civil law and motion matters are calendared on 

Fridays, all counsel are available for a hearing on dispositive motions on Monday through 

Thursday, September 17-20; and, in the alternative, (b) all parties are also available on Friday, 

October 5, 2007. 

WHEREAS, the deadline for filing dispositive motions will remain August 10, 2007, as set 

forth in the Court's July 3 Order; 

WHEREAS, if the hearing date is moved to September 17-20, it will have no effect on the 

schedule for the case or the trial schedule because the hearing on dispositive motions would be 

continued for less than a week; 

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby stipulated and agreed by the respective parties by and 

through their counsel of record: 

The hearing date on dispositive motions shall be extended from September 14, 2007 to one 

of September 17-20, or, in the alternative, October 5, 2007, subject to the Court's availability.
