ACTION____________________

Pre-Trial Conference: December 7, 2007 

Trial Date: January 14, 2008 

 IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between the parties to this action, 

through their respective counsel of record, and approved by the Court in the accompanying Order, 

as follows: 

 1. On August 10, 2007, Your Honor filed an order after finding good cause

FEDERAL ACTION – 06-00549 MCE DAD

2 

in a related federal action (Washington), the outcome of which will directly impact the facts and 

circumstances of this action and the trial of this action. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is the copy 

of the Court’s August 10, 2007, Order demonstrating the good cause. 

 2. As of the date of the filing of this further stipulation and proposed order, Judge 

Ralph R. Beistline in Andrew Washington v. Taser International, Inc., Case No. 05-CV-00881 

RRB GGH, has not yet ruled on the motion for leave to file a First Amended Complaint which 

was taken under submission several months ago. 

 3. Based upon the fact that no decision on the motion for leave to file a First 

Amended Complaint has yet been rendered in Washington, there is still and further good cause 

for this Court to vacate the trial and related dates in this case. 

 4. In order to avoid setting further deadlines similar to those in the August 10, 2007, 

Order, necessitating the parties seeking further extensions, and to avoid disrupting the Court’s 

own calendar by continually resetting dates, the parties have agreed that all current dates and 

deadlines in this matter, per the Court’s August 10, 2007, Order should be vacated and no new 

dates should be reset until following the outcome of the motion for leave to filed a First Amended 

Complaint in the Washington case. 

 5. The parties agree to jointly notify the Court in writing within 30-45 days from the 

filing of an order ruling upon Plaintiff’s motion for leave to filed a First Amended Complaint in 

the Washington case regarding the further status of this litigation and the Washington litigation, 

specifically related to the consolidation issue regarding the two informally related cases. 

 Respectfully submitted,
