______________________________) 

Plaintiff, the United States of America, and defendants, Robert Mathews, Karen Rose 

Mathews and Michael Stone Mathews, hereby stipulates, agrees and respectfully request, as

currently set for discovery and the hearing of dispositive motions be continued by approximately 

seventeen days as follows: 

1. Close of all discovery: November 30, 2007

2. Dispositive motions shall be filed by December 7, 2007; Opposition due by December 

24, 2007; Reply due by December 31, 2007; and set for hearing no later than January 14, 2008. 

The grounds for this stipulated and requested continuance are as follows: The parties 

have exchanged written discovery requests, including Requests for Production of Documents and 

scheduled depositions. While the parties had scheduled depositions to occur during the week of 

November 9, 2007, because the requested documents have not yet been received and produced, 

the parties agreed that the depositions will occur on or before November 30, 2007, in order to 

determine if depositions are necessary after receipt and production of the requested documents. 

The parties in good faith agreed to this postponement in the interests of economy since it is 

prudent to review the responses to the document requests before determining if the depositions 

are necessary. The parties agree that the only discovery matter that is being continued to occur 

no later than November 30, 2007, is the depositions of Comprehensive Integrated Marketing 

Services/Blue Cross of California, Robert Mathews, Karen Rose Mathews and Michael Stone 

Mathews. All other discovery will be completed by November 13, 2007. 

The parties agree that the continuing of the deadlines currently set for the close of 

discovery and the hearing of dispositive motions for approximately seventeen days to the dates 

set forth above will conserve the parties’ resources, by allowing them to determine whether 

depositions are necessary after reviewing the requested documents. If those depositions are 

necessary, the depositions will occur on or before November 30, 2007. No other discovery 

matter is being continued. The parties are not requesting a continuance of the pre-trial and trial 

dates. 

Accordingly, the parties respectfully request that the Court continue the current deadlines 

for the close of discovery to November 30, 2007, and dispositive motions shall be filed by
