parties participated in a meet and confer regarding initial disclosures and a discovery plan on 

October 27, 2005;

discovery, including initial disclosures, prior to the Court’s ruling on the pending motion;

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed to re-convene the initial meet and confer regarding a 

discovery plan should this case progress past the motion to dismiss; 

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed that this meet and confer will re-convene after the 

briefing on the motion for a protective order is complete, but no later than January 6, 2006;

WHEREAS, the parties plan to submit a written report to the Court regarding a discovery 

plan should this case progress past the motion to dismiss, pursuant to the requirements of Federal 

Rule of Civil Procedure 26(f); 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between the undersigned, 

subject to approval of the Court: 

1. The briefing schedule and hearing date for defendants’ motion for a protective
