August 11, 2005 (August Stipulation) jointly requested a stay of the entire action, including the 

extension of all litigation deadlines and trial date to allow the parties to focus their time and 

energy on discussing settlement; 

WHEREAS, the Court signed both Stipulations granting a stay and extension dates for 

discovery, dispositive motions, pre-trial conference and trial date; 

WHEREAS, the parties are currently engaged in ongoing good faith settlement 

discussions; 

WHEREAS, all parties mutually agree that settlement discussions will continue to be 

helpful in resolving most, if not all, of the material disputes of this case and that additional time is 

necessary in order to facilitate settlement; 

WHEREAS, good cause exists to grant a further stay and extension of the litigation 

deadlines and trial date based on the parties’ good faith belief that they may resolve their disputes 

without the need for further Court intervention, thereby eliminating the need for use of the Court’s 

limited resources; 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED THAT: 

1. The action is stayed in its entirety for an additional 30 days upon the signing of the 

Order. 

2. The trial date, and all other dates set forth in the August Stipulation entered by the 

Court on August 15, 2005, be extended subject to the Court’s approval, to the following dates or 

other dates convenient to the Court:
