STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER EXTENDING ADR DEADLINE 

The parties to this action, through their respective counsel, stipulate and hereby request that 

the Court enter an order extending the deadline to complete Early Neutral Evaluation by 60 days. 

The current deadline to complete the Early Neutral Evaluation in this case is July 19, 2007. 

Granting this stipulated request would extend the deadline to September 19, 2007. The parties base 

this stipulation and proposed order on the following: 

1. When this Court set the current ADR deadline, Plaintiff James D. Baker was 

represented by attorney Robert Nellessen. On April 13, 2007, Mr. Nellessen filed a motion to 

withdraw as counsel for plaintiff, and this Court granted that motion on April 16, 2007. After that 

date, plaintiff acted in pro per. 

2. The undersigned attorney, Edward Savin, intends to undertake representation of 

plaintiff and made an initial appearance for plaintiff at this Court’s case management conference on 

June 29, 2007. 

3. In light of the delay resulting from plaintiff’s search for substitute counsel, the parties 

believe that additional time to evaluate the action in advance of Early Neutral Evaluation would be 

helpful. 

4. On July 9, 2007, in a telephone call with Mr. David Levy, the court appointed neutral, 

Mr. Levy stated that he agreed with the parties’ proposal to extend the deadline to complete ENE by 

60 days. 

5. This stipulated extension will not alter any other deadline already fixed by Court 

order. The Court has set a hearing date of November 9, 2007 for defendants’ anticipated motion for 

summary judgment. The Court has not set a trial date.
