Case No. C 04-5220 MEJ

STIPULATION AND PROPOSED

ORDER FOR ADDITIONAL

STANDSTILL PERIOD OF FORTY

FIVE DAYS ON CERTAIN PENDING

CASE MANAGEMENT DEADLINES

The parties and their counsel of record appeared at the settlement conference before

Magistrate Judge Wayne D. Brazil on October 17, 2006 and reached terms of settlement. 

Because the settlement involves the purchase of an annuity and related matters, the parties

believe they will need approximately 30 days to prepare and file the appropriate stipulation of

settlement and proposed order to the Court (“the settlement stipulation”). In order to facilitate

the settlement process, the parties are requesting an additional standstill period of 45 days for 

certain pretrial deadlines, as follows:

1. The deadline for designation of rebuttal experts is extended to December 11,

2006.

2. The close of fact discovery is extended to December 22, 2006.
