IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties through their respective

attorneys of record that the hearing on petitioner’s Motion for Evidentiary Hearing scheduled for

June 7, 2007 be continued to June 14, 2007 at 10:00 a.m.

an evidentiary hearing cover approximately 170 pages in the amended petition and many contain

specific subclaims. Moreover, Jeanne Wolfe, lead counsel for respondent, severely injured her ankle
