[The Hon. Jeremy Fogel] 

[PROPOSED] JOINT 

STIPULATION AND REQUEST TO 

CONTINUE THIS CASE'S INITIAL 

CASE MANAGEMENT 

CONFERENCE 

 Whereas Defendants and Counterclaimants Angiogenex Inc. ("AGX") 

removed this case to this Court on July 5, 2006; 

 Whereas AGX agreed and told Plaintiffs and Counterdefendants 

Comparative Biosciences Inc. ("CBI") to hold-off on their Reply due to AGX's 

intention to file an Amended Answer and Counterclaim; 

 Whereas AGX filed an Amended Answer and Counterclaim ("Amended 

Counterclaim") as of right on August 1, 2006; 

**E-filed 9/29/06**

 Whereas AGX served CBI with the Amended Answer and Counterclaim by 

mail on August 1, but CBI has no record of receiving it; 

 Whereas AGX and CBI learned of this issue with service in early September 

and agreed that the Amended Counterclaim be deemed served as of September 11, 

thus CBI's Reply is due October 2, 2006; 

 Whereas there is an initial case management conference set for this case on 

October 13, 2006 and that conference triggers filings in advance of that hearing; 

 Whereas both parties agree that such filings would be premature and 

inefficient considering CBI has not yet provided a Reply; 

 Whereas the parties are currently meeting-and-conferring in order to resolve 

a dispute concerning ownership and possessory rights to genetically-unique mice, 

but if not resolved the parties will submit it for resolution to this Court by way of 

a motion for preliminary injunction or for declaratory relief; 

 Whereas it is more efficient for the Court and the parties to consolidate such 

motion, if necessary, with the initial case management conference considering the 

resolution of such motion will bear great weight on the parties' settlement 

positions; 

 Whereas the parties believe that an initial case management conference 

continued until December 1, 2006 will provide the parties adequate time to submit 

substantive and meaningful pre-conference filings in a timeline in accord with this 

Court's and the Local Rules; and also permit the parties to either resolve the 

dispute regarding the genetically-unique mice or submit to this Court for 

disposition either by preliminary injunctive or declaratory relief, 

 Whereas the parties do not submit this request for the purpose of delay, but 

in order to actively prosecute and defend our respective clients’ claims and 

defenses;
