STIPULATION

Because of ongoing settlement negotiations and pursuant to Civil Local Rules 6-2 and 7-12, 

Plaintiffs and Counterdefendants Acclarent, Inc., Exploramed II, Inc., and Advanced Polymers, Inc. 

(collectively, “Plaintiffs”), and Defendants and Counterclaimants Quest Medical, Inc., and Bruce B. 

Becker, M.D. (collectively, “Defendants”), through their respective counsel of record, jointly request 

and stipulate that the Court continue the Case Management Conference (“CMC”) in this matter from 

August 31, 2007, to September 14, 2007, for the following reasons: 

1. On May 17, 2007, the parties engaged in a second face-to-face meeting in efforts to 

settle this action, and the parties have earnestly continued their settlement efforts since that time 

despite the summer vacations of persons involved. Recently, the Court continued its CMC from July 

27 to August 31 in view of the parties’ settlement efforts and outstanding discovery disputes. 

2. This Court continued its CMC of March 2, 2007, to April 6, 2007, because the 

parties’ cross-motions to compel were then pending before the Honorable Magistrate Judge Patricia 

V. Trumbull. On April 2, 2007, the Court entered a stipulated order continuing the April 6 CMC to 

May 4, 2007 because Judge Trumbull had not yet ruled on the majority of the issues in the crossmotions [Docket No. 139]. 

3. Judge Trumbull ruled on the parties’ cross-motions pursuant to a sealed order dated 

April 9, 2007 [Docket No. 140]. The parties served certain supplemental discovery responses under 

the order and currently dispute whether the supplemental discovery responses are adequate. The 

parties began to meet and confer over these issues but deferred those efforts because of settlement 

negotiations (described above). 

Because the Court has previously continued prior CMCs due to settlement efforts and 

outstanding discovery disputes, because the parties continue to engage in earnest settlement efforts 

despite summer vacations of persons involved, and in order for the CMC to be as meaningful as 

possible and for the case schedule to be as realistic as possible, the parties request and stipulate that 

this Court further continue the August 31, 2007 CMC to September 14, 2007 at 10:30 a.m. 

By his signature below, counsel for Acclarent attests that counsel for all parties concur in the 

filing of this Stipulation.
