mediation date. 

6. Mr. Schmidt, all parties, and their counsel are available to conduct a mediation on 

August 12, 2010. 

7. Mr. Schmidt is in agreement that extending the June 30. 2010 mediation deadline 

would be in the interests of the parties and the Court in that it would facilitate resolution of the 

matter, allow the parties to continue their independent negotiations, and provide an available date to 

conduct a mediation in the event those negotiations do not lead to a final settlement. 

8. Mr. Schmidt authorized the parties to request that the Court continue the mediation 

deadline from June 30, 2010 to August 30, 2010. 

Wherefore, Plaintiff and KCI respectfully request that the Court continue the mediation 

completion date from June 30, 2010 to August 30, 2010.
