 STIP. TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE MOT. FOR SUMM. JUDG. AND MOT. TO COMPEL 

-2- 

STIPULATION 

1. WHEREAS, the parties may file cross-motions for summary judgment and/or 

motions to compel discovery, and wish to adjust the schedule for the filing of those motions 

in a way that will not affect the trial date; 

2. WHEREAS, the Court has previously ordered that any hearing on motions filed 

pursuant to Local Rule 7-2 must be held no later than March 16, 2007 and that therefore the 

deadline for the parties to file such motions — including motions for summary judgment and 

possibly motions to compel discovery — is currently February 9, 2007; 

3. WHEREAS, the discovery cut-off in this case was set at February 12, 2007 but, 

due to scheduling conflicts and logistical complications in connection with the need to travel 

to the State of Hawaii for depositions, the parties mutually agreed that Plaintiff Lappert’s Ice 

Cream, Inc. would take its depositions after the February 12, 2007 discovery cut-off; 

4. WHEREAS, in light of the foregoing, the parties have together worked 

cooperatively to schedule Lappert’s Ice Cream, Inc.’s noticed depositions, to be taken in 

Kauai, Hawaii, for February 13 and 14, 2007; 

5. WHEREAS, there is good cause for an extension given that the parties will not 

know whether it is appropriate to file summary judgment motions or motions to compel 

discovery before the depositions are completed and discovery is closed; 

6. WHEREAS, an extension of the deadline to file summary judgment motions or 

motions to compel discovery to February 21, 2007 would give the parties four business days 

after the completion of discovery to finalize any such motions; 

7. WHEREAS an extension of the deadline to file summary judgment motions or 

motions to compel discovery to February 23, 2007 would result in a new hearing date for 

those motions of March 30, 2007, which would not require the current trial date of April 2, 

2007 to be moved; 

8. WHEREAS, if the proximity of a March 30, 2007 hearing date to the April 2, 

2007 trial date will inconvenience the Court, the parties request in the alternative that the 

Court extend the deadline to file summary judgment motions or motions to compel

discovery to February 16, 2007, to give the parties two business days after the close of 

discovery to finalize any such motions. This would move the hearing date on those motions 

to March 23, 2007. 

9. The parties therefore STIPULATE AND AGREE to request that the Court 

change the time for briefing on any Motions as follows: 

(a) The last date for a hearing on any summary judgment motions or motions to 

compel discovery filed by the parties, presently set for March 16, 2007, at 10:00 a.m. shall 

be continued to March 30, 2007. 

(b) Any motion for summary judgment or motion to compel, and briefs in 

support thereof, shall be filed and served not later than February 23, 2007. 

10. In the alternative, the parties STIPULATE AND AGREE to request that the 

Court change the time for briefing on any Motion: 

(a) The last date for a hearing on any summary judgment motions or motions to 

compel discovery filed by the parties, presently set for March 16, 2007, at 10:00 a.m. shall 

be continued to March 23, 2007. 

(b) Any motion for summary judgment or motion to compel, and briefs in 

support thereof, shall be filed and served not later than February 16, 2007. 

11. The requested time modification shall have no effect on the remainder of the 

schedule for the case. 

12. Previous extensions of time permitted in this matter include: 

(a) The parties previously stipulated in writing to extend the time within which 

Defendant Counterclaimant Lappert’s, Inc. could respond to Plaintiff Lappert’s Ice Cream, 

Inc.’s complaint; 

(b) The Court previously granted the parties’ two stipulated requests to 

continue the hearing on Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss in light of the parties’ ongoing 

settlement efforts combined with fact that Douglas Winthrop, lead counsel for Defendant 

Counterclaimant Lappert’s, Inc. was out of the office for a number of weeks due to the 

arrival of his newborn baby, and combined with the fact that Judge Fern Smith, the mediator
