STIPULATION TO CONT. MOTIONS TO DISMISS 

AND MOTION TO REMAND 851636v1 35704/0001

Powerex Corp. and the Motion to Remand of Plaintiff People of the State of California Ex Rel., Bill 

Lockyer, Attorney General of the State of California, ("Stipulation") is made and entered into by 

Plaintiff People of the State of California Ex Rel., Bill Lockyer, Attorney General of the State of 

California, by Defendant Public Service Company of New Mexico and by Defendant Powerex 

Corp., a Canadian corporation, by and through their respective undersigned attorneys. 

RECITALS

This Stipulation is based upon the following facts: 

A. The three pending motions raise a large number of significant legal issues that require 

additional time for research and preparation of opposition and reply briefs. 

B. The Defendants are cooperating in the preparation of their briefs in order to reduce 

the expense and the burden on the Court. As counsel for Defendants are located in different states 

and time zones, unavoidable delays occur in the preparation of the briefs and in other 

communications. 

C. These motions may be dispositive, so it is in the interests of all parties and the Court 

that the work be done deliberately and carefully. 

D. The present briefing schedule spans the end of summer, Labor Day and beginning of 

school periods that impose various demands on the time of the attorneys representing all the parties. 

NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES TO THIS STIPULATION DO HEREBY AGREE 

AND RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AS FOLLOWS: 

1. Effective as of the date of filing of the Court's Order on this Stipulation, the current 

hearing date of September 14, 2005, should be vacated. 

2. A new hearing date should be scheduled for October 19, 2005, or such other date as 

the Court may elect. 

3. In lieu of the normal briefing schedule for opposition and reply briefs set out in Local 

Rule 78-230, the parties agree that the opposition briefs shall be filed on or before September 28, 

2005, and the reply briefs shall be filed on or before October 12, 2005.
