STIPULATION 

It is herein requested by involved counsel that an Order be issued extending the time for the 

hearing on Defendant NMS’ Petition for Section 1292 (b) Certification, to April 30, 2008 and 

that consequently the date for the of filing plaintiffs’ response would be enlarged until April 9, 

2008. The hearing is currently listed for April 16, 2008, as indicated in the above caption. 

 The reason for the request to extend the hearing and time for response is that due to a clerical 

error that inadvertently placed said Petition in the file prior to attorney review, the Petition,

which was filed on March 6, 2008, only became known to the undersigned attorney for plaintiffs 

shortly before the March 24, 2008 Case Management Conference, wherein counsel had indicated 

to this Court plaintiffs’ intention to oppose the Petition. This was compounded by an error by 

undersigned attorney for plaintiffs mistaking the date for response as being April 2, 2008, rather 

than March 26, 2008. 

 While there was a previously requested time modification in this case, it was made moot by 

the Court’s Order of February 29, 2008 denying the Motions to Dismiss and Strike. The only 

effect of the requested time modification on the case would be the two week delay of the 

currently scheduled hearing on the Petition. 

 Defendant Compass Vision did not join in Defendant NMS’ Petition for Section 1292 (b) 

Certification and thus counsel for Compass Vision is not part of this stipulation.
