SETTING FURTHER HEARING ON

PARTIES’ CROSS-MOTIONS FOR

PARTIAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT

On April 12, 2010, the Court conducted a hearing on the parties’ Cross Motions for Partial

Summary Judgment.1

 At the hearing, the parties represented that Counterdefendant Peter AlfredAdekeye is currently living abroad and unable to return to the United States due to his immigration

status. For that reason, Counterclaimants as yet have been unable to take his deposition. However,

the parties further represent that Mr. Alfred-Adekeye will make himself available for deposition in

Vancouver, Canada between May 18 and 21, 2010. Since Mr. Alfred-Adekeye is a party to the

litigation and his testimony is likely to be highly material, the Court finds good cause to reserve its
