STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER RESCHEDULING HEARING ON 

MOTIONS FILED BY THIRD-PARTY DEFENDANT METAL CRAFT, INC. [Case No. F-04-6057 OWW DLB]

Craft filed another motion to transfer venue of the entire action to the District of

Utah pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1404(a), setting the hearing for January 9, 2005;

WHEREAS counsel for Plaintiff R. GIL MCDOUGALD requested that the

parties agree to postpone the hearing on the motion to transfer venue for at least

several weeks on the grounds that he was the lead attorney for Plaintiff, that

Plaintiff would be opposing the motion to transfer, that he was scheduled to be out

of the country on holiday for a two week period encompassing Christmas, and

that, under those circumstances, there was inadequate time for him to prepare and

file his client’s opposition given that he was leaving country in several days and

would not be back until after the opposition was due; and

WHEREAS counsel for Defendants and counsel for Third-Party Defendant

graciously agreed to postpone the hearing on the transfer of venue motion until

February 6, 2006, provided that the hearings on the other two motions to strike the

third-party complaints were similarly rescheduled until February 6, 2006, 

II. STIPULATION

WHEREFORE, it is hereby stipulated, by and among the parties, by and

through their respective counsel of record herein, that the Court be respectfully

requested to order that the hearings on Third-Party Metal Craft’s motions to

transfer venue and to strike the third-party complaints filed by Canyonlands and

Wendt currently scheduled for January 9, 2006, be continued until February 6,

2006 at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 2 of the above-entitled court in order to allow the

parties additional time to brief the issues raised ny the motions.
