STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] 

ORDER RE PAGE LIMITS 2 CASE NO. C 07-02940 SI 

This Stipulation is entered into by and among lead plaintiff Teachers’ Retirement System 

of Oklahoma (“Plaintiff”), defendants Connetics Corp. (“Connetics”), John L. Higgins, Lincoln 

Krochmal, C. Gregory Vontz, and Thomas G. Wiggans (“Connetics Defendants”), defendant 

Alexander J. Yaroshinksy (“Yaroshinsky”), and defendant Victor Zak (“Zak”). 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff filed a Second Amended Complaint on March 14, 2008; 

WHEREAS, the parties have entered into the following briefing schedule pursuant to a 

Stipulation and Order entered on February 14, 2008: defendants will file and serve their 

respective motions to dismiss the second amended consolidated complaint for failure to state a 

claim and any other responsive pleadings on or before May 2, 2008; plaintiff will file and serve 

its opposition to defendants’ motions to dismiss on or before June 20, 2008; defendants will file 

and serve their respective replies in support of their motions to dismiss and any other responsive 

pleadings on or before July 18, 2008; 

WHEREAS, because of the number of claims and complexity of issues involved in this

opposition thereto; 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, pursuant to Northern District of

follows: 

1. The Connetics Defendants’ memorandum in support of any motion to dismiss 

shall not exceed 40 pages in length;

40 pages in length;

5. Plaintiff shall file a single omnibus opposition to all defendants’ motions to 

dismiss and such opposition shall not exceed 50 pages in length; 

6. The Connetics Defendants’ reply memorandum in support of any motion to 

Case 3:07-cv-02940-SI Document 90-2 Filed 04/16/2008 Page 2 of 5 Case 3:07-cv-02940-SI Document 92 Filed 04/18/08 Page 2 of 5
