This action was filed in Sacramento County Superior Court on May 18, 2005 and removed 

to this Court by defendants POWEREX CORP. and PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY OF NEW 

MEXICO on June 17, 2005. Upon removal, the matter was assigned to the Hon. Judge David F. 

Levi and an Order was issued directing the parties to meet and confer as required by FRCP 26(f) 

and prepare and submit a Joint Status Report within 60 days of removal, i.e., by August 16, 2005. 

Since this case was removed to this Court on May 18, 2005, three important motions have 

been filed which justify an Order postponing the deadline to file the parties’ Joint Status Report: 

(1) Plaintiff’s Motion to Remand this action to state Court; (2) Defendant POWEREX CORP.’s 

Motion to Dismiss this action pursuant to FRCP 12(b)(6); and (3) Defendant PUBLIC SERVICE 

COMPANY OF NEW MEXICO’S Motion to Dismiss this action pursuant to FRCP 12(b)(6). All 

of these motions are scheduled to be heard on September 14, 2005, after the current deadline for 

submission of the Joint Status Report. 

Due to the potentially dispositive nature of the plaintiff’s Motion to Remand as well as the 

defendants’ respective Motions to Dismiss, good cause exists to postpone the deadline for the 

parties to submit their Joint Status Report until after the Court has issued its rulings on these 

Motions. 

Based on the foregoing, the parties respectfully request that the Court issue an Order 

continuing the deadline for the parties to submit their Joint Status Report to Monday, October 17, 

2005, or 60 days after the Court issues its ruling on all three of above-referenced pending motions, 

whichever is later.
