The parties hereto, by and between their respective counsel, provide this stipulation and 

proposed order at the request of the Court. 

STIPULATION 

1. On April 6, 2006, the parties participated in a Case Management Conference with the 

Court, during which various dates were set for the pretrial period and trial of this case. On April 10, 

2006, the parties had a conference call with Richard H. Abramson, who has been selected as the 

mediator in this case. 

2. During the conference call, all parties discussed the most productive means of 

proceeding with ADR. The parties discussed the fact that there had already been a recent mediation 

in a related case, Docket No. C 01-04925, with Magistrate Judge Zimmerman, which was 

unsuccessful. The parties further discussed the Court’s order on April 6, 2006 that the ADR 

deadline be extended until May 10, 2006, and all parties agreed that conducting a mediation within 

this timeframe would not be effective or be likely to resolve any issues in this case or the related 

case. 

3. All parties agreed that the most effective time to conclude ADR would be after the 

close of fact discovery, which has now been set by the Court for May 25, 2007. Accordingly, the 

parties stipulate, and submit this request to the Court, that the ADR deadline be extended to June 25, 

2007. 

4. The parties submit that after the close of fact discovery in this case, ADR is far more 

likely to result in material progress towards settlement. At that time the parties will have a much 

better idea of the relative merits of their positionsand mediation in this case can then go forward.
