STIPULATION TO EXTEND TIME FOR DEFENDANT PROXIMO SPIRITS, INC. TO RESPOND 

TO THE COMPLAINT; AND ORDER THEREON

STIPULATION

WHEREAS, service of the Summons, Complaint and other papers was made on 

Defendant PROXIMO SPIRITS, INC. (“PROXIMO SPIRITS”), on May 7, 2010;

WHEREAS, the other Defendant, AGAVERA CAMICHINES, S.A. DE C.V. is a Mexico

corporation (“AGAVERA”);

WHEREAS, a Notice, Request for Waiver of Summons and other papers was sent on May 

20, 2010, to Lawrence E. Abelman, requesting Mr. Abelman to waive service of the Summons on 

AGAVERA;

WHEREAS, AGAVERA is willing to waive service of the Summons and has agreed to a 

response date of July 26, 2010, that is a date sooner than the deadline of ninety (90) days 

provided for under Rule 4(d)(3) for a defendant served outside any judicial district of the United 

States;

WHEREAS, PROXIMO SPIRITS and AGAVERA anticipate being represented by the 

same counsel in the within action and have requested that the response date for PROXIMO 

SPIRITS also be extended to July 26, 2010, to match the response date for AGAVERA;

WHEREAS, Plaintiff E & J GALLO WINERY (“GALLO”) is willing to agree to an 

extension in favor of PROXIMO SPIRITS up to and including July 26, 2010, to answer or 

otherwise respond to the complaint, in light of the agreement for AGAVERA to waive service of 

the Summons with July 26, 2010 as the date to answer or otherwise respond to the complaint;

WHEREAS, under the agreement reached between counsel, both Defendants will file their 

answers or other response to the complaint more promptly than had PROXIMO SPIRITS filed

their response at an earlier time, but AGAVERA either agreed to a waiver of service with the full 

ninety (90) day period allowed by Rule 4(d)(3), or insisted on service in Mexico under the Hague 

Convention; and 

WHEREAS, GALLO and PROXIMO SPIRITS are aware that under Local Rule 144(a), 

the extension for PROXIMO SPIRITS agreed to herein requires the approval of the Court, and 

they accordingly request the Court to approve such extension.
