ANDREWS FARMS v. CALCOT, LTD., et al.

K:\LJO\To_Be_Signed\07cv464.stip.wpd/ld STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

This stipulation is entered into based upon Good Cause: the initial complaint is fifty-five (55)

pages long and sets forth eight (8) causes of action; seven (7) of those causes of action have to be

amended to meet the particularity requirements established by Federal Rules 9 (b); and the Plaintiffs

have been granted leave to amend and add a ninth (9th) cause of action.

Michael Stump, Plaintiffs Counsel, is scheduled to be on vacation from June 28, 2007 through

July 9, 2007. Based upon the current filing schedule, Mr. Stump would have to complete the first

amended complaint prior to June 28, 2007 to comply with the Court’s schedule as the first amended

complaint is currently due July 2, 2007. 

Robert Dowd, Calcot’s Counsel, has a prepaid vacation scheduled for July 5, 2007 through

July 16, 2007. Based upon the current filing schedule, Mr. Dowd would not be available to

participate in the submission of the responsive pleading for Calcot because the response to the first

amended complaint is due on July 12, 2007.
