2. Defendant’s opposition and cross-motion for summary judgment would be filed on or

before August 18, 2006;

3. Plaintiffs’ reply and opposition to Defendant’s cross-motion would be filed on or before

September 8, 2006;

4. Defendant’s reply would be filed on or before October 6, 2006; and

5. The oral argument on said cross-motions would be heard before the Honorable Judge

Oliver W. Wanger on October 23, 2006.

On June 12, 2006, the parties were served, through their respective counsel, with an Order of

Reassignment which transferred this case from the docket of the Honorable Judge Robert E. Coyle to

the docket of the Honorable Anthony W. Ishii.

Plaintiffs’ counsel is a sole practioner. His schedule for the last two months have been extremely

hectic. He has had numerous appellate briefs due before the Ninth Circuit Court Appeals, a brief due

before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, a brief due in the Western District of Louisiana,

several court appearances in Sacramento CountySuperior Court as well as Court appearances before the

U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California. Because summary judgment motions are

voluminous in nature. Plaintiffs’ counsel needs additional time in which to prepare said motion, submit

it to the numerous clients in this matter who are spread out across the country, and then prepare it in final

form before filing with this Court. 

Plaintiffs’ counsel contacted Defendant’s counsel, Assistant U.S. Attorney, Kristi C. Kapetan,

who stated that she did not have any objection to Plaintiffs’ counsel seeking a nine (9) week extension

of all dates relative to the parties’ cross-motions for summary judgment. 

THEREFORE, the parties hereby STIPULATE and AGREE to the following briefing schedule

regarding cross-motions for summary judgment:

1. Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment would be filed on or before September 15,

2006;

2. Defendant’s opposition and cross-motion for summary judgment would be filed on or

before October 20, 2006;
