 Defendants Claude Lefebvre and RMO Assets Management SA are not parties to this 1

stipulation, as the Court has entered final judgments against those defendants on April 12, 2004.

Plaintiff’s Motion To Continue Further Case Management Conference, Case No. C-02-3704 (JSW) 2

Defendants was engaged in trial in the District Court in Los Angeles from February 8 to March

18 and was therefore delayed in responding to proposed Consents and Final Judgments prepared

by counsel for the Commission. (3) The proposed Consents and Final Judgments raise certain

issues which must be investigated and resolved, and which may require that Mary Lee Capalbo

consult or be represented in this action by separate counsel. (4) The parties believe that a

continuance of approximately 90 days would enable the parties to resolve these issues.

Counsel to the Commission assents to this motion.1

Accordingly, Defendants request that the Case Management Conference scheduled for

April 29, 2005, be continued to July 29, 2005, or to such other date and time as may be

convenient for the Court.

Dated : April 20, 2005 Respectfully submitted,
