MOTION FOR [PROPOSED] STIPULATED ORDER TO ENLARGE TIME TO FILE MOTION TO COMPEL

Plaintiffs Michael Butler and Richard Butler and Defendants Adoption Media, 

LLC, Adoption Profiles, LLC, Dale R. Gwilliam and Nathan W. Gwilliam jointly move the Court 

pursuant to Civil L.R. 6-2 and 6-3 to enlarge the time in which parties may file motions to 

compel, in accordance with the following Stipulation to Enlarge Time to File Motions to Compel.

STIPULATION TO ENLARGE TIME TO FILE MOTIONS TO COMPEL

This Stipulation is made pursuant to Civil L.R. 6-2 by Plaintiffs and Defendants.

1. On September 2, 2005, the Court signed a stipulated order granting 

Plaintiffs’ and Defendants’ request to modify the Case Management and Pretrial Order of July 6, 

2005, extending the time to amend pleadings or add parties to September 30, 2005;

2. On September 21, 2005, the Court signed a stipulated order granting 

Plaintiffs’ and Defendants’ request to modify the Case Management and Pretrial Order of 

September 2, 2005, resetting the hearing on the parties’ motions for summary judgment;

3. The parties seek to enlarge the time by two weeks in which to file any 

motions to compel further responses and production to previously propounded written discovery. 

Plaintiffs believe that their deadline to file a motion to compel is currently October 12, 2005, and 

that this two week extension will permit them to file a motion to compel on or before October 26, 

2005. Defendants believe the time for filing a motion to compel has already expired and will be 

unaffected by this stipulation. The parties are continuing to engage in meet and confer 

conversations and hope to resolve the outstanding issues without involvement of the Court; 

4. Extending the foregoing deadline will have no additional impact on the 

schedule for the case as no other deadlines in the Case Management and Pretrial Order need 

rescheduling at this time. Accordingly, the parties stipulate to extend the deadline as set forth

above, and respectfully request that the Court so order.

IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.
