Trial .................................................... 9:00 a.m., November 6, 2006

The parties jointly request this continuance due to continued difficulties encountered by the plaintiff

in arranging for the deposition of Philip Ratzsch, a witness who counsel believe currently is

incarcerated and has been advised by counsel not to testify until certain conditions are satisfied. The

parties may need to negotiate some form of immunity relating to Ratzsch in order to obtain his

testimony.

In addition, both parties have recently lost counsel. Brett Burlison, who previously represented

plaintiff, has left the Cartwright Law Firm and Gary Loftis has recently joined Mr. Cartwright as

counsel for plaintiff. Mark St. Angelo, who previously represented defendant, has left the U.S.

Attorney’s Office and Claire Cormier is taking over the case on behalf of the defendant.

With the exception of the previous order of bifurcation and the changes in dates set forth above, the

parties are not requesting that the Court otherwise modify or change the Court’s July 14, 2004 Case

Management Scheduling Order.
