I WHEREAS on July 14, 2006, Plaintiff Clinton Reilly filed his complaint in

this action and the Court entered an Order Setting Initial Case Management Conference

and ADR Deadlines;

WHEREAS on July 28, 2006, the Court entered an Order Denying Plaintiff s

Application for Temporary Restraining Order;

WHEREAS, Plaintiff has requested that Defendants MediaNews Group, Inc.,

The Hearst Corporation, Stephens Group, Inc., Gannett Co., Inc. and California

Newspapers Partnership (collectively, "Defendants") agree to expedited discovery and trial

proceedings;

WHEREAS the parties have met and conferred and believe good cause exists

for relief from the scheduling requirements of Rules 16 and 26 of the Federal Rules of

Civil Procedure and the Local Rules;

WHEREAS the parties have met and conferred and agreed to the accelerated

case management schedule set forth below, subject to the Court's approval and availability;

NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to Northern District Civil Local Rules 6-2(a)

and 16-2(e), Plaintiff and Defendants hereby stipulate and agree to the following case

management schedule:

1. This schedule concerns only (a) the acquisitions of the McClatchy

newspapers that were the subject of the Court's Order Denying Plaintiffs

Application for Temporary Restraining Order; and (b) Hearst's proposed

equity investment in MediaNews Group's non-Bay Area properties.

This2. schedule does not concern any potential fixture broadening of Hearst's

proposed equity investment in MediaNews Group pursuant to equity

conversion provisions or otherwise: Hearst and MediaNews Group expect

that any such transaction, if it were to occur, would be the subject of future

antitrust Hart-Scott-Rodino Act regulatory filings. If such a transaction

occurs, and plaintiff elects to challenge it, the parties would propose an

appropriate schedule at that time-
