STIP AND ORDER TO RESET TRIA/

1 17667\836761.1

The following stipulation is respectfully submitted to this Court:

Counsel for Secure Data in Motion, Inc. d/b/a Sigaba (“Sigaba”) makes the following 

representations:

• Robert Cook, the Executive Chairman of Sigaba, defendant and counterclaimant 

in this action, has recently suffered serious medical problems such that he will not 

be able to prepare for and participate in the scheduled November 7, 2005 trial of 

this matter;

• Mr. Cook is the primary client contact between Sigaba and its counsel and an 

important trial witness for Sigaba. As detailed in Sigaba’s pre-trial conference 

filing, Sigaba intends to offer Mr. Cook as a witness on liability and damages; and 

• Sigaba’s counsel has learned the following concerning Mr. Cook’s condition:

a) Over the weekend of October 1, Mr. Cook suffered serious health problems 

which severely impaired his balance, gait, speech, motor skills and 

stamina, and which also caused him to be in severe pain. He was 

immediately hospitalized and placed under the care of neurologists at 

University of California at San Francisco Medical Center.

b) Yesterday afternoon, Sigaba’s counsel was informed by Mr. Cook’s wife 

that his condition is such that he cannot participate in trial preparation and 

trial for a November 7 trial. Mr. Cook’s treating physician has informed 

him that he cannot endure the workload and stress of trial preparation and 

participation in a trial for approximately four months, depending on his 

progress in recovery. 

Based upon these representations, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the 

parties hereto, through their respective attorneys of record and subject to approval by the Court, 

that:

• the trial presently scheduled for November 7, 2005 shall be reset to an 

available trial date in February 2006;

• Sigaba’s pending Rule 54(b) motion and its Motion in Limine No. 4 as

The parties also jointly request that the current pre-trial filing deadlines of Tuesday, 

October 11, 2005 be vacated.
