The parties are making this joint request for the following reasons: Peter’s responses 

and/or objections to Carl’s First Set of Interrogatories are now due on September 11, 2006, 

and the depositions of David Dillwood, CPA and Ted Israel, CPA are scheduled for 

September 14, 2006, in Santa Rosa and San Rafael, California. Peter’s counsel has been 

unavailable due to the recent birth of his second child, and needs additional time to servehis 

responses and/or objections to Carl’s First Set of Interrogatories. The parties have agreed 

that Peter shall be granted an extension of time to September 18, 2006 to file his responses 

and/or objections and that it would be more productive to complete the depositions after 

Peter completes his responses. 

The parties have exercised diligence in complying with the Stipulated Briefing 

Schedules previously approved by the Court, and have met and conferred pursuant to Rule 

26(f) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure in order to address the discovery schedule. 

DATED: September 11, 2006 Respectfully submitted,
