 ORDER - 2 -

12, requesting an order changing time that would affect the date of an event . . that . . . would

extend time frames set in the Local Rules . . . .”

(1) Local Rule 6-2(a)(1), Reasons for Requested Changes of Time. As set out in the

accompanying declaration of James A. Hennefer, counsel for plaintiff, the reasons for rescheduling

of the briefing for plaintiff’s opposition to defendants’ summary judgment motion and the reply

are: (1) as to the opposition pleadings, a crash of the computer network drive in plaintiff’s

counsel’s office, apparently due to a faulty network card, has made pleadings on such network

unaccessible and unavailable until they can be recovered or reconstructed; and (2) a corresponding

extension of defendants’ reply brief had been agreed to in order to allow defendants’ the normal

time for such reply.

(2) Local Rule 6-2(a)(2), Previous Time Modifications. As also set out in the

accompanying declaration of James A. Hennefer, counsel for plaintiff, the previous time

modifications in the case, with the dates they were filed and the dates orders were granted, and

with the docket numbers for their filing have been: 5/13/2004, docket no. 13 (stipulation and order

continuing hearing on motion for partial judgment on the pleading or partial summary judgment);

12/10/2004, docket no. 33 (stipulation and order continuing hearing on motion for judgment on the

pleadings or, in the alternative, partial judgment on the pleadings); 03/22/2005, docket no. 59

(administrative motion to continue hearing on plaintiff’s motion for preliminary injunction and to

continue case management conference); 04/28/2006, docket no. 77 (stipulation and order re motion

for leave to file a first amended complaint); and, 07/14/2006 and 08/08/2006, docket nos. 104 and

105 (unopposed motion to continue and order thereon).

(3) Local Rule 6-2(a)(3), Effect on Case Schedule. The requested rescheduling of the

briefing would not change any other currently scheduled dates in the case.

WHEREFORE, the plaintiffs and defendants respectfully request that: (1) the time for the

filing of plaintiff’s opposition to defendants’ motion for summary judgment be changed from

September 15, 2006 to September 18, 2006; and (2) the time for the filing of defendants’ reply be

Fox v. Good Samaritan, Case No. C 04 00874 RM W

STIPULATED REQUEST FOR ORDER CHANGING TIME ORDER - 4 -

04/28/2006, docket no. 77 (stipulation and order re motion for leave to file a first amended

complaint); and, 07/14/2006 and 08/08/2006, docket nos. 104 and 105 (unopposed motion to

continue and order thereon).

4. On September 12, 2006 our offices began to experience trouble with our office’s

computer network drive. This drive handles our internet connections, emails and it processes,

stores and backs-up word processing documents. These word processing documents included the

declarations and pleadings required to be filed in opposition to defendants’ motion for summary

judgment in this case on September 15, 2006. 

5. The trouble with the network first manifested itself as a shut down of email and

internet connections, which are routed through the network server. A PC technician was called in

immediately to trouble-shoot the network problems with email and internet connections and

worked on the system on September 13, 2006. However, it became apparent on the evening of

September 13 and the morning of September 14 that the server problem extended to word

processing documents that are processed, stored and backed-up on the network drive. This made

the documents and the back-ups inaccessible. I was told by the Corel Word Perfect help desk upon

inquiry this morning that the symptoms appear to derive from a faulty network card. The PC

technician is scheduled to come in again this afternoon and will attempt to access the documents

and/or back-ups. Otherwise, the inaccessible or lost documents will have to be reconstructed before

they can be filed. This has necessitated the present stipulated request for an order changing the

time for filing such documents. 

6. The foregoing is known to me of my own personal knowledge, except where

otherwise indicated, and if called I could and would competently testify thereto.

Sworn to, this 14 day of September 2006, under penalty of perjury, pursuant to the laws th

of the State of California at San Francisco, California.

/s/ James A. Hennefer
