Defendant Barry Merchant was served with the summons and complaint on March 13, 2007, 

by personal service. Plaintiffs and Defendant, each through their counsel, have been in 

communication and hereby stipulate to extend Defendant’s time to answer the complaint until June 

4, 2007. 

Because a Joint Status Report is due to the Court within sixty (60) days of Defendant having 

been served with the summons and complaint, the Joint Status Report is currently due to the Court 

by May 14, 2007. However, under the agreement of parties’ counsel, Defendant’s response to the 

complaint will not be due until June 4, 2007. Therefore, the parties, each through their counsel, 

hereby stipulate to extend the date by which a Joint Status Report will be due to the Court thirty (30) 

days to July 5, 2007. 

The parties, each through their counsel, hereby stipulate and respectfully request for leave of 

Court to extend Defendant’s time to answer the complaint until June 4, 2007, and to extend the time 

to file a Joint Status Report with the Court until July 5, 2007.
