Stipulation and [Proposed] Order to Extend Time for Briefing on Fees – No. 07-cv-01654-AWI-GSA

Plaintiffs and Defendants, by their undersigned attorneys, hereby agree and stipulate as

follows:

1. Pursuant to a stipulation entered by the Court on March 4, 2008, plaintiffs’ motion for an

award of attorneys’ fees in this matter is currently due on April 3, 2008. Document No. 27.

2. The parties are now engaging in good faith discussions which could obviate the need to

 litigate the issue of attorneys’ fees. Rather than expend further judicial and litigant resources at this

time, the parties stipulate and propose to the Court that any motion seeking an award of fees shall be

filed by April 18, 2008, and that the motion will be briefed and argued under the timelines provided

by the Local Rules.

DATED: April 1, 2008 Respectfully submitted,
