WHEREAS the Pretrial Conference in this case is set for November 1, 2007; 

WHEREAS, under the Court’s Standing Order Re: Pretrial Preparation (“Standing 

Order”): (1) oppositions to motions in limine, (2) objections to the use of deposition excerpts or 

other discovery responses, (3) counter-designations, and (4) objections to voir dire, proposed 

findings, verdict forms or the authenticity or admissibility of any trial exhibits are to be served and 

filed or lodged not less than five court days prior to the Pretrial Conference, on or before October 

25, 2006; 

WHEREAS, under this Court’s May 25, 2007 Order, the Joint Pretrial Statement is to be 

filed on October 26, 2007; 

WHEREAS, one of the two primary trial counsel for defendant and counterclaimant 

Kentucky Oil Technology, N.V. (“Kentucky Oil”) in this action, Nicola A. Pisano, and his family 

were required to evacuate their home in Rancho Santa Fe, California early on the morning of 

October 22, 2007 because of the fires in San Diego County, and the Del Mar office of Jones Day 

where Mr. Pisano practices law has been closed since that date; 

WHEREAS, as a result of the evacuation, Mr. Pisano has been unable to work on this case 

since the afternoon of October 21, 2007 and remains unable to work on the case; 

WHEREAS, Kentucky Oil will therefore be unable to complete the work necessary to 

timely file, lodge and serve all of the documents required under the Standing Order; 

WHEREAS, counterdefendant Schlumberger Technology Corporation (“Schlumberger”) is 

willing to agree to extend these deadlines as an accommodation; 

WHEREAS, Kentucky Oil is willing to extend reciprocal courtesies to Schlumberger; and 

WHEREAS, plaintiff and counterdefendant Memry Corporation does not agree to extend 

any pre-trial deadlines; 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between Kentucky Oil and Schlumberger, by and 

through their respective counsel of record: 

1. Kentucky Oil’s oppositions to Schlumberger’s motions in limine and 

Schlumberger’s oppositions to Kentucky Oil’s motions in limine may be filed October 29, 2007,
