STIPULATION (AND PROPOSED -1- 

 ORDER) TO EXTEND TIME 

B. Plaintiff alleges that Defendants violated the law by adopting a Cease and Desist Order in Order 

WR 2006-0006; and 

C. Plaintiff and Defendants intend to discuss settlement; and 

D. Plaintiff does not object to the Defendants receiving an extension of time to respond to the 

complaint, and accordingly Plaintiff and Defendants request that the Court concur in the requested 

extension of time to September 13, 2006. 

STIPULATION

Therefore, Plaintiff and Defendants, through their respective counsel, with all due and 

necessary authority, hereby stipulate and agree as follows: 

1. To the extent that an extension of time is necessary to avoid Plaintiff having grounds for claiming 

default, Defendants shall have until September 13, 2006 to answer or otherwise respond to 

Plaintiff’s complaint. 

2. This Stipulation to Extend Time shall not and cannot be used as a basis to assert the doctrines of 

waiver and/or estoppel and/or laches as a defense against any other party; provided, however, that 

nothing in this paragraph shall preclude Plaintiff or Defendants from asserting any and all defenses 

arising out of Plaintiff’s or Defendant’s acts or omissions. 

3. The signing of this Stipulation to Extend Time is not and shall not be deemed to constitute 

evidence or an admission of liability for any claim or cause of action pled in the complaint. 

4. The signing of this Stipulation to Extend Time is not and shall not be deemed to constitute a 

waiver of either the Plaintiff’s or the Defendants’ right to stipulate to a subsequent extension of time 

or to move this Court for an additional extension of time.
