1. David Wessel, Lexington’s counsel, has been in contact with attorney William “Randy”

Morton of Oakland, California, who has advised Mr. Wessel that he has been contacted by

defendants North American Crane Bureau Group, Inc., Northern American Crane Bureau, Inc., and

NACB Environmental Health & Safety Services, Inc. (“the NACB defendants”), who have asked

him to represent them in this action; Mr. Morton has advised that he has consented to represent the

NACB defendants, but he does not yet have a written attorney-client agreement; 

2. Mr. Morton has also advised that he has not yet seen Lexington’s First Amended

Complaint, or the insurance policy at issue in this insurance coverage action;

3. Mr. Morton said he expects to be able to file an appearance on behalf of the NACB

defendants on or before July 23, 2010; and

4. As a consequence, counsel for Lexington and BAE obviously have not been able to

confer with defendants NACB as required by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26 and by this Court’s 

Standing Order on the contents of Joint Case Management Statement, or about an alternative dispute

resolution process. 

Lexington and BAE stipulate and respectfully submit that the Court should require that the

Joint Case Management Conference Statement, the parties’ Rule 26(f) Report, the ADR

Certification, and the Stipulation to ADR Process or Notice of Need for ADR Phone Conference be

filed with the Court not less than seven days before the new date of the Initial Case Management

Conference.
