Mr. Ross’ name only appears for the first time on this pleading because his 

application for admission to this Court was not accepted until January 10, 2006.

Case No. C05-04094 JSW 2

STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER TO CONTINUE BRIEFING SCHEDULE

Pursuant to Local Rule 7-12 and this Court’s January 6, 2006, Order Setting

Briefing Schedule, the parties hereto, through their respective counsel of record, hereby

stipulate as follows:

1. On January 4, 2006, Respondents City of Concord et al (“City”) filed

a motion to dismiss Petitioners/Plaintiffs Concord Communities et al (“Concord

Communities”) First Amended Petition for Writ of Mandamus and Complaint.

2. The City calendered that motion to be heard on February 24, 2006.

Accordingly, pursuant to Local Rule 7-3, Concord Communities’ opposition would have

been due on February 3, 2006, and the City’s reply would have been due February 10, 2006.

3. The Court’s January 6, 2006, Order moved those dates back by two

weeks, to January 20 and January 27, 2006, respectively. The dates set by the Court appear

to be those that would have applied to the motion to dismiss Concord Communities’ original

Petition for Writ of Mandamus (“Original Petition”), which the City filed on December 23,

2005. The City withdrew that motion after receiving a copy of the First Amended Petition,

which had been filed one day earlier.

4. The City has requested that Concord Communities stipulate to modify

the briefing schedule set by the Court so that the opposition and reply briefs would be due

on the dates otherwise established by Local Rule 7-3 (i.e., February 3rd for the opposition and

February 10th for the City’s reply).

5. The City has indicated that the reason for this request is the

unavailability of the City’s outside counsel—Shute, Mihaly & Weinberger LLP

(“SMW”)—to prepare the City’s reply during the week preceding the January 27th due date

set by the Court. Specifically, the SMW associate attorney assigned to this case, Gabriel M.

Ross, is completely unavailable during that time. Mr. Ross, who worked straight through the

December holidays on the City’s motion to dismiss and other matters, will be on vacation

with his fiancee in Mexico from January 20, 2006 through January 31, 2006.1

The identity of this client and ballot measure is presently confidential.

STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER TO CONTINUE BRIEFING SCHEDULE

6. The City’s lead attorney in this case, SMW partner Robert Perlmutter,

also has indicated that he has extremely limited availability during the week preceding

January 27th to spend on the City’s reply brief due to previously scheduled commitments in

other matters, including the following: (a) preparing for and attending an all-day mediation

on January 25, 2006 in the case of DeltaKeeper v. Port of Stockton, Case No. C050636 (Cal.

Ct. Appeal 3rd App. Dist.); (b) drafting a complex local ballot measure that must be

completed by the end of January;2

 and (3) drafting and overseeing the preparation of detailed

comments on the City of Long Beach, California’s, Airport Terminal Area Improvement

Project Draft Environmental Impact Report; under the California Environmental Quality Act,

Cal. Pub Res. Code §21000 et seq, these comments must be submitted no later than January

31, 2006.

7. Mr. Perlmutter has further indicated, and attests by his signature below,

that: (a) these prior commitments—the bulk of which were set during the period between the

City’s filing of its motion to dismiss the Original Petition on December 23, 2005, and the

motion to dismiss the Amended Petition on January 4, 2006—will consume substantially all

of his time during the week of January 23rd; (b) no other SMW attorney is presently available

to work on the City’s reply during that week; and (c) the Concord City Attorney’s office is

playing a supervisory role in this case and, as such, is not available to draft the City’s reply

brief.

8. Concord Communities is willing to stipulate to the City’s request to

continue the due date for its opposition to February 3, 2006, and the due date for the City’s

reply until February 10, 2006.
