2:06-CV-00907-WBS-EFB 

Plaintiffs PENSION TRUST FUND FOR OPERATING ENGINEERS LOCAL 3 et al. 

and Defendants, MCMORGAN & COMPANY LLC and DAVID HOWARD ("McMorgan 

Defendants"), LIFFEY, LLC ("Liffey"), STANTON, KAY & WATSON, JAMES WATSON and 

EDWARD MEVI ("Stanton Defendants")and WEINBERG, ROGER & ROSENFELD and 

BARRY HINKLE ("Weinberg Defendants"), by and through their counsel, hereby stipulate to an 

extension of time to provide initial disclosures under Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(1). Good cause exists 

for the stipulated extension. 

RECITALS

1. Counsel for Liffey will be unable to confer with their client in preparing the 

required Rule 26(a)(1) initial disclosures due to the fact that its primary contacts at Liffey, with 

authority to approve said initial disclosures, will be unavailable over the next few days as they 

travel for the Christmas and New Year holidays. Due to their absence, Liffey will not be able to 

provide complete initial disclosures by the existing December 26, 2006 deadline; and 

2. Counsel for all parties, with the sole exception of PAYNE, THOMPSON, 

WALKER & TAAFFE, met telephonically on August 18, 2006, and conferred on case 

management issues, including but not limited to Rule 26(a)(1) initial disclosures, in advance of 

the initial status conference; and 

3. All parties, with the sole exception of PAYNE, THOMPSON, WALKER & 

TAAFFE, submitted a Joint Status Report on December 4, 2006. PAYNE, THOMPSON, 

WALKER & TAAFFE did not submit any such statement in advance of the initial status 

conference. On December 15, 2006, the Court issued a Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order 

addressing discovery, pretrial matters, and setting a trial date in the cases ordered related by this 

Court (2:06-CV-00904, 2:06-CV-00905, and 2:06-CV-00907); and
