THOMAS A. SKOULIS and PETER M. FRANKL,

 Defendants. 

Case No. C-06-2239 JF (PVT) 

STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER 

TO CONTINUE PRETRIAL DATES 

 

Plaintiff Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) and defendants Thomas A. 

Skoulis and Peter M. Frankl (collectively, “the parties”), by and through their respective counsel, 

hereby agree and stipulate as follows: 

 WHEREAS: 

 1. A settlement conference was held by Magistrate Judge Trumbull with the parties 

on February 9, 2007. 

2. Counsel for the Commission has now received written offers to settle the action 

from each of the defendants, which counsel has informed the defendants (through their 

respective counsel) the Commission’s staff will recommend the Commission accept.

 3. In order to permit sufficient time for the Commission to consider these offers, without 

imposing further costs on the defendants, the parties agree that a suspension of all currently 

scheduled pretrial dates, and a continuation of the currently scheduled date for the Court’s next Case 

Management Conference for approximately 60 days, is appropropriate. 

STIPULATION: 

 4. The parties therefore stipulate and agree that the Case Management Conference 

currently scheduled for October 12, 2007 at 10:30 a.m., should be continuued to December 14, 

2007 at 10:30 a.m., or as soon thereafter as the Court’s schedule will permit. 

 5. The parties further stipulate and agree that all pretrial dates currently scheduled in 

this matter (including the final dates to complete fact and expert discovery, and the last date to 

provide expert disclosures pursuant to Fed. Rule Civ. Proc. 26(a)(2)) should be suspended. The 

parties agree to propose a new schedule to the Court for consideration at the next scheduled Case 

Management Conference, if necessary. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED: 

DATED: September 21, 2007 Respectfully Submitted,
