STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER REGARDING CASE MANAGEMENT 

AND BRIEFING SCHEDULES 

STIPULATION

WHEREAS, a Case Management Conference Order issued on or about May 1, 2007 (the 

“CMC Order”) scheduling a Case Management Conference in this action to be held at 10:30 a.m. 

on July 27, 2007; 

WHEREAS, the Case Management Conference was set on calendar automatically upon 

reassignment of this action from Magistrate Elizabeth D. Laporte without counsel for the parties 

confirming availability; 

WHEREAS, both counsel of record for Plaintiff have previously-scheduled hearings in 

other cases that conflict directly with the Case Management Conference as currently scheduled; 

WHEREAS, counsel for Plaintiff and Defendants have met and conferred regarding their 

availability to reschedule the Case Management Conference, in accordance with the CMC Order, 

the Standing Orders For Civil Cases Assigned to the Honorable Maxine M. Chesney, and Local 

Rule 16-2(d); 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint (“Amended Complaint”) in this 

action on or about July 3, 2007;

WHEREAS, Plaintiff believes that the filing of the Amended Complaint has mooted the 

Rule 12 motion Defendants previously filed against the previously-operative complaint, currently 

set for hearing at 9:00 a.m. on July 27, 2007, which Defendants do not concede; 

WHEREAS, counsel for Plaintiff would have the same scheduling conflict with the 

9:00 a.m. hearing on July 27, 2007 as with the 10:30 a.m. hearing on that same day, in the event 

that the earlier hearing were to go forward; 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 6(a),(e) and 15(a), Defendant 

Dimmler’s response to the Amended Complaint must currently be filed on or before 

July 20, 2006; 

WHEREAS, Defendant Dimmler has requested from Plaintiff an extension of time to 

August 6, 2007 to respond to the Amended Complaint; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff does not oppose Defendant’s request for an extension of time to 

respond to the Amended Complaint;

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER REGARDING CASE MANAGEMENT 

AND BRIEFING SCHEDULES 

WHEREAS, Defendants agree that Plaintiffs should also have additional time to oppose 

any motions filed by Defendants (if any) in response to the Amended Complaint; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff and Defendants agree that it is desirable to conduct an orderly and 

efficient schedule for case management and briefing in this action, and to coordinate the two for 

the convenience of the Court and the parties; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff and Defendants believe that a continuance of the Case Management 

Conference currently scheduled for July 27, 2007, and all deadlines related to or triggered by said 

conference, is necessary due to the unavailability of Plaintiff’s counsel, and that it would advance 

the orderly administration of this action by allowing for concurrent hearing of any Rule 12 

motions, and propose that the Case Management Conference be scheduled for October 5, 2007 at 

10:30 a.m.; 

NOW, THEREFORE, PLAINTIFF AND DEFENDANTS, BY AND THROUGH 

THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNSEL OF RECORD, HEREBY STIPULATE AND REQUEST 

THAT THE COURT ORDER AS FOLLOWS: 

1. The Case Management Conference, and all deadlines related to or triggered by 

said conference, be continued until October 5, 2007 at 10:30 a.m. 

2. The time for Defendant Dimmler to answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiff’s 

First Amended Complaint be extended up to and including August 6, 2007. 

3. The time for Plaintiff to file its opposition to any Rule 12 motion[s] filed by 

Defendants be extended up to and including September 7, 2007. 

4. The time for Defendants to file any reply to Plaintiff’s opposition be extended up 

to and including September 21, 2007. 

5. The hearing on Defendants’ Rule 12 motions against the Amended Complaint, if 

applicable, will be held on October 5, 2007 at 9:00 a.m., prior to the rescheduled Case 

Management Conference. 

6. The hearing on Defendant’s Rule 12 motion against Plaintiff’s original Complaint, 

currently set for 9:00 a.m. on July 27, 2007, is hereby taken off calendar. Any issues not mooted 

by the filing of the Amended Complaint will be addressed at the 9:00 a.m. hearing on
