Farr filed its motion to dismiss plaintiffs amended complaint on June 2, 200S,

and set a hearing date for September 19, 200S.

On June 4, 200S, this Court issued its Order Setting Briefing Schedule. This

order changed the opposition and reply briefing schedule deadlines from those required

under the Northern District's rules to June IS, 200S for the opposition, and June 25,

200S, for the reply. The Court did not alter the September 19, 200S hearing date.

However, the Court also stated in its order that if the parties wish to modify the

new briefmg schedule, they may submit for the Court's consideration a stipulation and

proposed order demonstrating good cause for any modification requested.

Good cause to modify the new briefing schedule exists. Lead counsel for Farr,

Howard J. Stein, and counsel for Higgins, did not anticipate that the briefing schedules

would be changed by the Court from late August and early September to June, 200S.

Due to the fact that these counsel have other previously scheduled matters in the month

of June, it would be extremely difficult to adhere to the new briefing schedule set by

this Court. Moreover, granting the requested change to the briefing schedule for the

opposition and reply briefs will not alter any hearing or other matter set by this Court.

The only impact that this stipulation and proposed order will have on

this Court's schedule, if it is granted, would be to delay the completion of briefing on

the motion to dismiss, set for hearing on September 19, 2008, from late-June to July

15, 2008. Therefore, the parties respectfully request that the Court grant their

requested alteration of the new briefing schedule.

IT IS SO STIPULATED:
