STIPULATION TO AMEND BRIEFING SCHEDULE

CASE NO. C 06-4234 PJH

43488v1

Subject to the Court’s approval, Plaintiff, Hersh & Hersh, and Defendants, United States

Department of Health and Human Services and Guidant Corporation, hereby agree and stipulate

to amend the present briefing schedule in the above-captioned FOIA case as follows:

October 24, 2007 Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment and

Vaughn index due

November 21, 2007 Plaintiff’s Opposition due

December 5, 2007 Defendant’s Reply due

December 19, 2007 Motion hearing

Good cause exists for a one-week extension of the briefing schedule because Plaintiff

and Guidant Corporation are engaged in earnest discussions, with certain key counsel out of the

district, that may have a material impact on this litigation. The parties believe that extending

the briefing schedule by a week will give sufficient time to determine whether these discussions

will be fruitful or not.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
