enter into this stipulation, through their counsel, amending the briefing schedule

preparing the reply brief and arguing the MSJ, is currently set to appear in an 

unrelated matter before the California Court of Appeal, Fourth District, in

THE PARTIES AGREE AND IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the briefing schedule 

shall be modified as follows:

1. Sierra’s Opposition to Patriot’s MSJ shall be due by 12:00 p.m. on 

Wednesday, December 1, 2010.

2. Patriot’s Reply Brief thereafter shall be due by 12:00 p.m. on Friday,
