Pursuant to Local Rule 7-7, Plaintiff Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. ("Lehman"), on the one

 WHEREAS Kontrabecki has filed his Motion to Withdraw the Reference of the above entitled 

Adversary Proceeding (“Motion to Withdraw Reference”), and a hearing thereon has been set for 

September 8, 2006; and 

 WHEREAS Lehman has filed its Motion to Defer Proceedings on Motion for Withdrawal of 

Reference Pending Disposition of Motions by Bankruptcy Court (“Motion to Defer”) and a hearing 

thereon has been set by the Court for August 18, 2006; and 

 WHEREAS, due to a scheduling conflict, Kontrabecki’s counsel is unavailable on August 18, 

2006 to appear at the hearing on the Motion to Defer scheduled by the Court for that date.; and 

 WHEREAS, the parties wish to postpone the hearing on the Motion to Withdraw Reference to 

September 29, in order to extend the time for the parties to file their respective opposition and reply 

briefs on the Motion to Withdraw Reference beyond the date the Court is scheduled to hear and decide 

the Motion to Defer, without prejudice to either party seeking a further postponement of the hearing 

date and briefing schedule on the Motion to Withdraw Reference if the Court grants the Motion to 

Defer, and without prejudice to Lehman seeking a one-week postponement of the hearing date and 

briefing schedule on the Motion to Withdraw Reference if the Court denies the Motion to Defer.

 1. The hearing on the Motion to Defer shall be continued from August 18, 2006 and shall 

take place before the Court on August 25, 2006, at 10:00 a.m. or as soon thereafter as counsel may be

 2. The hearing on the Motion to Withdraw Reference be continued from September 8, 

2006 and shall take place before the Court on September 29, 2006, at 10:00 a.m. or as soon thereafter
