other response to the complaint is due on April 10, 2006. The

United States requests an additional forty-five days (until May

25, 2006) in order that counsel for the United States and counsel

for the IRS may review the voluminous administrative records and

coordinate a response to the complaint. 

Also, the scheduling conference is now set for April 6,

2006, several days before the Government’s response is due. The

parties request that this conference be postponed until two weeks

after the Government’s response to the complaint is due. Thus,

if this stipulation is approved, the scheduling conference would

fall on June 8, 2006 (or whichever day is convenient for the

Court).
