STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER Case No.2:07 CV 01818 GEB DAD 

 

Good cause exists for continuing all of the above referenced hearing dates 

until April 21, 2008 at 9:00 a.m. Dameron Hospital Association has filed an 

Amended Motion for an Order Granting Leave to File a Second Amended 

Complaint, which directly relates to the pending Motions to Dismiss, which is set 

for April 21, 2008. All counsel agree that having a consolidated hearing on April 

21, 2008, at 9:00 a.m. will promote judicial economy by allowing the Court to hold 

one consolidated hearing, and allow attending counsel to only have to travel to and 

attend one hearing. 

A proposed order is being filed concurrently herewith. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
