STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

Case No. CV 03-2509-SI 2

WHEREAS on March 14, 2006, the Court issued an Opinion and Order (“Order”)

resolving the parties’ cross-motions for summary judgment and directing the parties to file

simultaneous briefs on the appropriate form of relief within 14 days and response briefs within

21 days;

WHEREAS pursuant to the Court’s Order, the parties’ initial briefs were originally due

on March 28, 2006;

WHEREAS by Order dated March 23, 2006, the Court approved the parties’ stipulation

to extend the due date for their initial briefs by 30 days, to and including April 27, 2006, with a

corresponding extension of the due date for their response briefs to and including May 4, 2006;

WHEREAS by Order dated April 21, 2006, the Court approved the parties’ second

stipulation to extend the due date for their initial briefs by an additional 45 days, to and including

June 12, 2006, with a corresponding extension of the due date for their response briefs to and

including June 26, 2006;

WHEREAS the parties are continuing to negotiate in good faith regarding the appropriate

relief in light of the Court’s Order, and on June 8, 2006, Federal Defendants provided the other

parties with a draft stipulation to form the basis for continued settlement discussions;

WHEREAS the parties have conferred and believe that the current due date for their

initial briefs should be extended by an additional 30 days, to and including July 10, 2006, with a

corresponding extension of the due date for their response briefs to and including July 24, 2006,

in light of their continuing efforts to reach agreement on the appropriate form of relief, which

would obviate the need for further briefing and conserve judicial resources; and

WHEREAS as demonstrated above, good cause exists for the proposed extension;

THEREFORE, PURSUANT TO LOCAL RULE 6-2, THE PARTIES HEREBY

STIPULATE THAT:

The parties shall file simultaneous briefs regarding the appropriate form of relief

on or before July 10, 2006, and the parties’ response briefs shall be filed on or

before July 24, 2006.
