Case No.: 2:06-CV-00592-MCE-KJM 

Plaintiffs and Defendants hereby stipulate and request the Court to enter an Order, as set 

forth below, modifying the deadline for the parties to confer and to perform all related obligations 

under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure (“FRCP”) 26(f). 

Whereas, on April 11, 2006, the parties filed a Stipulation and [Proposed] Order setting a 

proposed schedule for the briefing and hearing of certain preliminary motions in this matter, which 

Stipulation also addressed certain other procedural issues such as the timing of the parties’ 

obligations under FRCP 26(f); 

Whereas, on April 12, 2006, the Court entered an Order pursuant to the parties’ Stipulation 

[Docket No. 45], which provides at Paragraph 4 that “[t]he Rule 26(f) conference and all related 

obligations are to be postponed until 60 days following the hearing on the above-referenced 

motions, or to a later date to be negotiated by counsel and approved by the Court.”; 

Whereas, on October 24, 2006, the Court held a hearing on two of the many preliminary 

motions filed by some of the Defendants in the two related actions, and those two motions remain 

under submission;

Whereas, the Court has not scheduled oral argument on any of the Defendants’ remaining 

preliminary motions; and 

Whereas, Plaintiffs and Defendants wish to modify the manner of calculation of the 

deadline by which they must confer and take other actions under FRCP 26(f). 

Therefore, the parties hereby stipulate and request the Court enter an order pursuant to Local 

Rule 6-144 modifying Paragraph 4 of the Court’s April 12, 2006 Order [Docket No. 45] as follows: 

Plaintiffs and Defendants agree that the Rule 26(f) conference and all related obligations are to be 

postponed until 60 days following the Court’s entry of its final order(s) on all currently pending 

preliminary motions. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED:
