AMENDED COMPLAINT AND RESCHEDULING INITIAL 

CMC Case No. C07-01700 (RMW) 

- 2 - 22059\1320565.1

Pursuant to Local Rules 6-1, 6-2 and 7-12, Defendant Dell Inc. (“Dell”) and Plaintiffs 

Chad Brazil and Steven Seick (“Plaintiffs”), by and through their respective counsel, hereby 

stipulate as follows: 

 1. On August 3, 2007, the Court entered an order (“Arbitration Order”) denying 

Dell’s motion to stay these proceedings and compel arbitration of Plaintiffs’ claims. 

 2. Pursuant to prior stipulation and Order of the Court, Dell’s response to the First 

Amended Complaint (“FAC”) is due thirty days from the Arbitration Order. Thus, Dell’s 

response to the FAC is currently due on September 4, 2007. 

 3. In addition, the Initial Case Management Conference (“CMC”) in this matter is 

currently set for August 31, 2007 at 10:30 a.m. 

 4. Dell’s counsel has informed Plaintiffs’ counsel that Dell is considering various 

options in light of the Court’s Arbitration Order. To accommodate counsel’s schedules and 

promote efficiency, the parties have reached the following agreement which they ask the Court to 

adopt by order set forth below. 

 a. If Dell determines to respond to the FAC, either by answer or motion, 

Dell’s response date shall be extended by ten (10) days from September 4, 2007 to 

September 14, 2007. 

 b. If Dell determines instead to appeal from the Arbitration Order, and to seek 

a stay of these proceedings pending that appeal, Dell shall do all of the following: 

 i. Dell’s San Francisco based counsel shall meet with Plaintiffs’ San 

Francisco based counsel in person to confer concerning the issues to be 

raised by any such stay motion prior to the bringing of such motion; 

 ii. Dell shall raise all such grounds for a stay in a single motion; 

 iii. Dell will file its appeal and stay motion within the time limits for 

appealing the Arbitration Order; and 

iv. Dell will not file a response on the merits to Plaintiffs’ FAC but 

will instead seek a further continuance of said response deadline until after 

the Court has ruled on the stay motion, and Plaintiffs hereby agree that they
