REQUEST AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO

EXTEND DISCOVERY CUTOFF DATE AND

TO RESET MANDATORY SETTLEMENT

G:\docs\HHerman\6cv0287.stipo.Britz.extend.wpd 2 CONFERENCE DATE

REQUEST

The parties in this case, acting through their respective counsel, jointly request that the

discovery cutoff date, which is now June 29, 2007, be extended until July 30, 2007, and that the

date for the Mandatory Settlement Conference, which is now July 12, 2007, be reset by the Court

to a new date, after July 30, 2007, selected by the Court.

The reasons for this request follow.

This case involves many documents and many witnesses. Some are within California.

Some are not. The parties have engaged in, and they are continuing to engage in, extensive oral

and written discovery. Both sides have cooperated, and they continue to cooperate, in that effort.

However, notwithstanding the best efforts of the parties, completion of discovery by June 29,

2007, is not reasonably possible.
