INTERVENE IN BREADY [Dkt. 252]; AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 1

RECITALS

A. On March 22, 2007, this Court granted the United States’ motion to modify the

schedule for the Verizon cases [Dkt. 217]. Pursuant to the terms of the Court’s Order, on April

20, 2007, the United States invoked the state secrets privilege and filed a motion to dismiss

and/or for summary judgment in the Verizon cases. 

B. With the exception of Bready, the United States obtained the stipulation of the 

Verizon plaintiffs to its intervention in the Verizon cases. See Dkt. 251. With regard to Bready,

the plaintiffs opposed the intervention of the United States and the United States therefore sought

to intervene by motion. Dkt. 252. To conserve the resources of the parties and the Court, the

United States noticed that motion for the same date as the hearing date for the Verizon cases, i.e.,

June 21, 2007. See id.

C. Following the filing of disposition motions by the United States and Verizon 

Defendants, the plaintiffs in the Verizon cases sought additional time to oppose those motions

and the parties stipulated to modify the briefing and hearing schedule in the Verizon cases with

the hearing date to be moved from June 21, 2007 to August 30, 2007. See Dkt. 287. The Court

has not yet entered an order approving this stipulation.

D. Pursuant to Local Rule 7.7(b), the United States seeks to modify the noticed

hearing date for the motion to intervene in Bready to the same date as set forth in the stipulation

concerning the Verizon cases (August 30, 2007), because the motion to intervene relates to the

dispositive motions to be heard on that date. The other parties to Bready consent to this request.

E. This hearing date for the United States’ motion to intervene in Bready has not 

previously been modified and considering that motion along with the other matters pertaining to

the Verizon cases would promote judicial economy.

STIPULATION

Pursuant to Local Rule 7.7(b), Plaintiffs in Bready, through their attorneys of record, the

Government, through their attorneys of record, and the Defendants, through their attorneys of

record, hereby stipulate to the following modification of the hearing date and request that the

Court make this stipulation an order of the Court:
