Case No. C 99-04941 MMC (EDL)

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED]

ORDER MODIFYING BRIEFING

SCHEDULE

Plaintiffs, Defendant Istituto per le Opere di Religione (“IOR”), and Defendant Order of Friars

Minor (“OFM”), by and through the parties’ respective counsel of record, hereby agree and stipulate as

follows:

1. On March 5, IOR counsel Jeffrey S. Lena contacted opposing counsel to request that the

briefing schedule on the FSIA and Standing motions to dismiss, currently requiring Defendants to file

motions to dismiss by or before March 13, 2006, be modified to allow Defendants five additional

business days to complete their motions. Mr. Lena requested the additional time because of an acute

illness that had an impact on IOR counsel’s preparation of the motion to dismiss. On March, 6, 2006,

Mr. Jon Levy, counsel for Plaintiffs, responded to Mr. Lena’s request, agreeing to stipulate to

Defendants receiving five additional business days so long as Plaintiffs’ time to request discovery and/or

oppose the motions to dismiss is similarly extended.

2. Accordingly, the parties agree that Defendants’ filing deadline for their motions to

dismiss be extended from March 13, 2006 to March 20, 2006. Plaintiffs’ filing deadline for a discovery

motion, if any, should be extended from April 10, 2006 to April 17, 2006. Defendants would have 30

days to respond thereto. The filing of Plaintiffs’ discovery motion would suspend the running of time to

respond to Defendants’ FSIA and Standing motions to dismiss until the Court rules on Plaintiffs’

discovery motion.

3. If no discovery motion is filed, Plaintiffs’ opposition to Defendants’ motions to dismiss

should be extended from June 5, 2006 to June 12, 2006, with Defendants’ reply due on July 10, 2006.

4. Prior modifications to the briefing schedule have been made, as reflected in the docket,

due to petitions for certiorari and, subsequently, the filing of a Fourth Amended Complaint. The

proposed time modification contained herein will not foreseeably affect the date of the adjudication of

Defendants’ motions to dismiss.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
