The parties hereto, by and between their respective counsel, provide this stipulation and 

proposed order at the request of this Court’s ADR unit. 

STIPULATION 

1. On November 2, 2005, the parties had a conference call with Richard H. Abramson, 

who has been selected as the mediator in this case. 

2. During the conference call, all parties agreed that because there was already an 

ongoing mediation in a related case, Docket No. C 01-04925, going through mediation with 

Magistrate Judge Zimmerman, that it would not make sense to have two mediations during the same 

time period. 

3. The parties agreed to contact mediator Abramson on January 31, 2006 to report the 

results of the mediation and settlement discussions in the related case. A further conference call is 

scheduled with mediator Abramson at 9:00 a.m. on February 6, 2006. 

4. The parties request that the deadline for concluding mediation in this case be 

extended until at least April 10, 2006. At that time the parties will have a much better idea of the 

relative merits of their positions, summary judgment motions and a trial will have concluded in the 

related case, and mediation in the related case can go forward.
