Stipulation for Stay, [Proposed] Order

WHEREAS, pursuant to stipulation of the Parties, the Court by Order dated December 6,

2006 established a briefing schedule on the Plaintiffs’ currently pending Motion for Summary

Judgment, Defendants’ currently pending Counter-Motion for Summary Judgment, and

Plaintiffs’ to be filed Motion for Leave to File a Second Amended Complaint;

WHEREAS, the parties met on October 19, 2006 and again on December 14, 2006 to

discuss settlement of this case and made substantial progress toward a settlement agreement at

these meetings;

WHEREAS, based on the October 19th and December 14 meetings and subsequent

discussions, the parties wish to stay all further litigation in this case until March 16, 2007 to

allow time for additional settlement discussions, which the parties presently have reason to

believe will successfully resolve this case without further litigation;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties have agreed to a stay of all further litigation in this case

until March 16, 2007 and request that the Court issue an order as follows:

1. All further litigation in this case is stayed until March 16, 2007 and all currently

pending case deadlines are vacated, including: the deadlines for the Parties to file their Case

Management Conference Statement, for Plaintiffs to file their Motion for Leave to File a Second

Amended Complaint and for subsequent briefing on this motion; the February 23, 2007 date for

the hearings on Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary Judgment, Defendants’ Counter-Motion for

Summary Judgment, and Plaintiffs’ Motion for Leave to File a Second Amended Complaint; and

the Case Management Conference;

2. The parties shall submit a status report no later than March 16, 2007 informing the

Court as to the progress of settlement discussions; and

3. Following receipt of the parties’ status report, the Court will reset the Case

Management Conference and all filing deadlines set in the Court’s December 6, 2006 Order.
