STIPULATION

This Stipulation is entered into by Plaintiffs JOHN BARRY LYNCH and 

BARBARA J. LYNCH (“Plaintiffs”) and Defendants COUNTRYWIDE HOME 

LOANS, INC., and RECONTRUST COMPANY (collectively “Countrywide”). 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs filed their Complaint in this action on May 16, 2008. 

WHEREAS, Countrywide removed this action to federal court on July 1, 2008. 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Court’s July 1, 2008 Order, the parties were 

ordered to confer as required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(f) and to prepare and submit to the 

Court a joint status report that includes a Rule 26(f) discovery plan. 

WHEREAS, on August 8, 2008, Countrywide filed a Motion to Dismiss 

pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6), seeking a complete dismissal of all Plaintiffs’ 

claims. 

WHEREAS, the Court has now heard oral argument on Countrywide’s Motion 

to Dismiss and has taken the matter under advisement. 

WHEREAS, the parties agree that conducting a Rule 26(f) conference at this 

time will be futile, as it is unknown what claims, if any, will remain following the 

Court’s ruling on Countrywide’s Motion to Dismiss, when such Order will be entered 

such that discovery in this action could be commenced, and the extent of any 

discovery that is necessary in this action, and that setting informed deadlines for 

discovery, dispositive motions, or trial would be impossible at this time. 

WHEREAS, due to the pending Motion to Dismiss that will determine the 

scope and extent of discovery, if any, needed in this action, the parties have agreed to 

extend the deadline to confer as required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(f) and to prepare and 

submit to the Court a joint status report that includes a Rule 26(f) discovery plan until
