Stipulation Re Amended Answer of Cornmesser 

Case No. 06-CV-06384 CRB 

2

WHEREAS, on December 20, 2006, the SEC filed its Motion to Strike Affirmative 

Defenses of Defendants Kern, McFarland, and Cornmesser (“Motion to Strike”); 

WHEREAS, the Motion to Strike is scheduled to be heard by the Court on March 2, 2007, 

at 10:00 a.m.; 

WHEREAS, in the interest of judicial economy and avoiding the burden and expense of 

further argument on the Motion to Strike, and without admitting that any affirmative defense 

included in the Answer is improper or otherwise lacks merit in any way, Cornmesser is prepared 

to amend her Answer by filing the Amended Answer attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

WHEREAS, the SEC stipulates and agrees that Cornmesser should be permitted to file the 

Amended Answer, that the filing thereof will moot the Motion to Strike as to Cornmesser, and 

that the Motion to Strike should therefore be withdrawn as to Cornmesser upon filing of the 

Amended Answer; 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between the parties 

hereto through their respective attorneys of record that: 

1. Cornmesser shall file the Amended Answer on or before February 15, 2007; 

2. Upon the filing of the Amended Answer, the SEC’s Motion to Strike shall be 

deemed withdrawn as to Cornmesser; and 

3. The Motion to Strike as it pertains to certain affirmative defenses set forth in the 

answer of defendant William F. McFarland is not affected by this Stipulation
