WHEREAS, a scheduling conference in this action is set for January 19, 2006 at 

8:45 a.m.; 

WHEREAS, on the following day, January 20, 2006, the Northern District of 

California is scheduled to hear a motion to transfer another action, Pacific Coast Federation of

WHEREAS, the motion to transfer is based on a contention that this action and the 

Northern District action are related and should be decided by a single court; 

WHEREAS, while the plaintiffs in this action oppose the motion to transfer the 

Northern District action, all parties agree that it would be helpful to know the outcome of the 

motion to transfer before conducting a scheduling conference in this action. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and among the parties, through 

their respective counsel, that the scheduling conference currently set for January 19, 2006 be 

continued to February 8, 2006 at 8:30 a.m.
