The parties have met and conferred regarding the upcoming hearing on defendants’ motions 

for summary judgment. With the understanding that the Court has devoted substantial time to that 

hearing on the morning of June 13, 2006, the parties respectfully request 45 minutes total time for 

argument for plaintiffs, 45 minutes total for Cisco Systems, Inc. and the individual defendants, and 45 

minutes total for PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

The parties to this litigation further request that a Case Management Conference be conducted 

immediately following the hearing on the pending summary judgment motions on June 13, 2006 at 

9:00 a.m. The parties would like to address the following matters at the Case Management 

Conference: class notice; the content and date(s) for filing various pre-trial submissions, including 

the joint pretrial statement; and the trial date and estimates of trial length.

In addition, the parties have stipulated to modify the briefing schedule with respect to 

Objections to Experts. Pursuant to the Court’s order dated July 8, 2005, Objections to Experts are 

now due on June 30, 2006. The parties have agreed that the Objections to Experts will encompass all 

pre-trial objections the parties have to the admissibility of expert opinions, including Daubert

challenges. The parties have agreed to the following modifications to that schedule:

Objections to Experts July 7, 2006

Responses to Objections August 4, 2006

Replies in Support of Objections August 18, 2006

The Court has not yet scheduled a date for hearing the parties’ Objections to Experts. The parties 

request that the Court set such a date at the Case Management Conference on June 13, 2006 and 

propose that those objections be heard on September 8, 2006 as part of the Final Pre-Trial

Conference.
