Plaintiffs and Defendants hereby stipulate and agree that the Court ordered mediation 

relating to the above-referenced matter will be continued until some date before August 30, 2007, 

mutually agreeable to the parties and to the mediator, at a location to be determined. This is the 

second extension to which parties have stipulated and the date is beyond the ninety day deadline 

stated in the Court’s scheduling order. However, the parties believe that delaying the mediation until

the above-stated date is in the best interest of all parties and will promote judicial economy. 

On June 19, 2007, counsel for each party discussed the matter by telephone. On or about 

June 2007, prior counsel for Plaintiffs, Ms. Mainguy, took an extended medical leave of absence, 

about which Defendants have just been informed. Ms. Mainguy referred the case to Plaintiffs’ new 

counsel, Michele Stafford at Saltzman & Johnson, who has substituted in on June 15, 2007. 

Additionally, Defendant Hamilton had inadvertently mis-scheduled upcoming travel and will be 

unavailable on the date of the currently scheduled mediation. At the conclusion of the phone call, 

parties agreed that the best interests of all would be served by continuing the mediation a few weeks 

from its currently scheduled date. 

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.
