 that the merits of the case are likely to be resolved or made moot without further involvement

of the Court or the Court’s formal ADR procedures. Since the previous stipulated extension,

there have been some unforeseen complications in resolving the last of the issues in the merits

of the case, but the parties are still hopeful that the matter can be resolved without assistance

from the Court. After the merits are resolved, the parties will attempt to resolve plaintiff’s

claims for attorneys’ fees. If they are unable to settle that claim, plaintiff may bring a motion

for attorneys’ fees.

In order to allow time to try to resolve the remaining issues in this case, the parties

hereby STIPULATE and respectfully request that the case management conference set for

August 5, 2010 be continued to September 9, 2010.

Respectfully submitted,
