STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

FOR FILING FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT

CASE NO. C09-04058 CW C:\Documents and Settings\Workstation\Local Settings\Temp\notes95EC0B\STIP FOR FAC.wpd -2-

on its behalf.

After inquiry by plaintiff’s counsel, on November 24, 2009, by letter

of defense counsel Hayley-Singer Grunvald, plaintiff learned that defendant

SPORTS AUTHORITY’s legal name is “TSA STORES, INC.,” who plaintiff

seeks leave of the Court, pursuant to F.R.C.P. 15 (a)(2), to add as a defendant to

this action.

In order to facilitate resolution of plaintiff’s claims, and in the

interests of justice, plaintiff believes it is necessary that the appropriate entity at

issue in this case, TSA STORES, INC. dba SPORTS AUTHORITY, be

substituted for THE SPORTS AUTHORITY, INC. as a party to this action. 

Plaintiff has prepared a First Amended Complaint naming TSA

STORES, INC. dba SPORTS AUTHORITY, EMERYVILLE RETAIL

PROPERTIES, L.P., and DOES 1-10, Inclusive, as defendants. Correcting the

name of defendant SPORTS AUTHORITY to “TSA STORES, INC. dba SPORTS

AUTHORITY” is the only amendment to the Complaint, and the First Amended

Complaint otherwise remains unchanged from the original. 

Plaintiff seeks leave of the Court to amend the complaint pursuant to

FRCP 15 (a)(2), with the agreement of defendants TSA STORES, INC. dba

SPORTS AUTHORITY and EMERYVILLE RETAIL PROPERTIES, L.P., who

have already answered as parties to this action. 

Therefore, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between that

plaintiff and TSA STORES, INC. dba SPORTS AUTHORITY and

EMERYVILLE RETAIL PROPERTIES, L.P., the only parties to have appeared

in this action thus far, that plaintiff may seek leave of the court to file a First

Amended Complaint, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
