STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER FOR RELIEF 

FROM SCHEDULING ORDER; CASE NO. 5:06-CV04529 

By signatures of their counsel to this Stipulation, the parties to this action stipulate that the 

deadlines set forth in this Court’s March 8, 2006 Scheduling Order may be continued as set forth 

in the schedule below. 

 The parties desire to continue the dates set forth in the Scheduling Order for the following 

reasons: 

 1. On March 20, 2007, the parties conducted an all day mediation session before the 

Hon. Ellen Sickles James at JAMS. Although the March 20, 2007 mediation did not resolve the 

dispute, the parties agreed to reconvene for a second mediation session on May 3, 2007. Counsel 

for all parties desire to devote their time, energies, and resources to trying to resolve this matter, 

rather than expend resources conducting tasks necessary to comply with the rapidly approaching 

deadlines (including discovery, expert witness, and dispositive motion deadlines) set forth in the 

Court’s March 8, 2007 Scheduling Order. 

 2. Additionally, on February 15, 2007, Plaintiffs filed a Third Amended Complaint, 

in which a new party, Renn Transportation, Inc., was added as a Defendant. The Defendants have 

yet to respond to the Third Amended Complaint, which pursuant to the Court’s February 15, 2007 

Order is not due until April 2, 2007. 

 3. This Stipulation and Proposed Order is not interposed for purposes of delay but in 

the interests of justice and the resolution of the controversies herein. 

Case Schedule

 4. Counsel for all parties have conferred with respect to these matters, and all parties 

agree to continue the dates set forth in the Court’s prior Schedule by six weeks, resulting in the 

following Case Schedule: 

Defendants’ Response to Third 

Amended Complaint 

May 14, 2007 (continued from April 2, 2007) 

Disclosure of Expert Witnesses July 2, 2007 (continued from May 21, 2007)
