DM_US\8403163.v1 

HOWREY LLP

Trial in this matter is scheduled to begin on December 1, 2006, and the Pretrial Conference is 

scheduled for November 17. Rule 26(a)(3) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure specifies that 

“unless otherwise directed by the Court,” the parties must file their respective identifications of 

witnesses, deposition designations, and exhibit lists at least 30 days before trial, which in this case 

would be November 1. Rule 26(a)(3) further specifies that the parties must file their objections to the 

deposition designations and exhibits within 14 days thereafter, which would be November 15. 

The parties have met and conferred over the timing of these events and, in light of the pending 

motions for summary judgment, respectfully request jointly that the Court so order that the date for the 

exchange of witness lists, deposition designations, and exhibit lists be set for November 10, with 

objections to the exhibits and deposition designations set for November 17. The parties will still file 

the Joint Pretrial Conference Statement on November 2 as set forth in the Court’s Standing Order re 

Pretrial Preparation.
