Claimant. : : 

Plaintiff United States of America, and Claimants Donald Kearney, and MERS, Inc. as

nominee for Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., the successor in interest to the original claimant herein,

Washington Mutual Bank, [hereafter “Claimants”], by and through their respective counsel, hereby

request that the Court continue the scheduling conference (which is currently set for April 21), to

June 16 or July 14, 2008. 

1. The parties have been actively engaged in discussions over a proposed scheduling

order, and appear likely to resolve the scheduling issues by stipulation, which would obviate the

need for a scheduling conference.

2. Counsel for all three parties have been consumed with other matters this week and

have been unable to devote any time to this case. Counsel for Claimant Donald Kearney is

immersed in writing an appellate brief which is due next week. AUSA Door is involved in meetings

all day today, and will not be in on Friday. The earliest day she could devote to this matter is next

week, but undersigned counsel will be completely unavailable next week because of the appellate

brief deadline. Mr. Wechsler also has scheduling conflicts. Of the dates for a continued scheduling

conference suggested by the court, June 16 and July 14 are both available to all counsel.

3. Once their stipulated scheduling conference statement is filed, the parties would ask

that the Court enter a scheduling order on the papers and vacate the scheduling conference.

4. The parties apologize for any inconvenience to the court.
