WHEREAS, Plaintiffs and Counter-defendants Advante International Corp., Vickie Yibin 

Zhang, and Shin Wei (collectively “Advante”) noticed its Motion for Terminating Sanctions against 

Mintel and Request for Attorney’s Fees for hearing on February 4, 2008 (“Advante’s Motion”); 

WHEREAS, Defendants and Counterclaimant Mintel Learning Technology, Inc. (“Mintel”) 

noticed its Motion for Sanction under Fed. R. Civ. P. 11 for hearing on February 4, 2008 (“Mintel’s 

Motion”); 

WHEREAS, Mintel’s lead counsel, J. James Li, has recently moved from Howrey LLP to 

Greenberg Traurig LLP, and Mintel has selected Greenberg Traurig as its new counsel to replace 

Howrey; 

WHEREAS, in light of its counsel transition from Howrey to Greenberg, Mintel would like to 

postpone the hearing for Advante’s Motion by two weeks so that its counsel can have time to prepare 

for the opposition to Advante’s Motion; 

WHEREAS, according to the Court’s website, the next available hearing date is March 17, 

2008, which makes it undesirable to postpone the hearing date; 

WHEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties, through their 

respective attorneys of record, that there is good cause to enlarge time for filing opposition briefs 

without changing the hearing date for both Advante’s Motion and Mintel’s Motion, as follows: 

Action Original Date New Date 

Last day to file opposition briefs to both 

Advante’s Motion and Mintel’s Motion 

January 14, 2008 January 21, 2008 

Last day to file reply briefs for both the 

Advante’s Motion and Mintel’s Motion 

January 21, 2008 January 28, 2008 

Hearing for both Advante’s Motion and 

Mintel’s Motion 

February 4, 2008 February 4, 2008

*** ORDER *** 

 The Court DENIES the parties' Stipulation because good cause has not been shown. Although 

Defendants have changed law firm, they have retained the same lead counsel, Mr. James Li. The 

briefing schedule agreed upon by the parties does not provide the Court with sufficient time to evaluate 

the parties' positions before the scheduled hearing. Accordingly, the parties shall adhere to the briefing 

schedule as set forth by the Civil Local Rules. 

Dated: January 11, 2008 _____________________________________
