STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER VACATING THE DISCOVERY CUT-OFF DATES AND 

CHANGING THE DATE OF THE FURTHER CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE 

CASE NO. C 05-1330 CW 

369232.01 

Plaintiff Donald H. Putnam (“Putnam”) and defendants National Bank Financial, Inc., 

National Bank of Canada, and Putnam Lovell NBF Securities, Inc. (collectively, “Defendants”) 

hereby stipulate to the following under Civil Local Rules 6-1 and 6-2: 

1. Due to the parties’ mediation efforts and other exigencies, the parties agree that 

the current dates for completion of fact and expert discovery should be vacated and re-set for a 

later date at the next Case Management Conference. 

2. Defendants have filed a separate stipulation changing the date of the hearing on 

their motion to dismiss to April 7, 2006. 

3. The parties agree that, if the Court’s calendar allows, it would be expeditious to 

hold the Further Case Management Conference on April 7, 2006 as well, rather than on the 

currently-set date of May 12, 2006, so that new discovery cut-off dates can be set, and so that 

counsel for Defendants do not have to travel from New York for two separate hearings. 

4. Previous modifications to the schedule in this case related to the briefing and 

hearing of Defendants’ motions to dismiss and an extension of time for Putnam to file his First 

Amended Complaint; no changes to the date for completion of discovery or to the date set for the 

Further Case Management Conference have been requested. 

5. The modification to the schedule stipulated herein will not otherwise affect the 

schedule in this case. 

6. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate that the discovery cut-off dates should be 

vacated and re-set at the Further Case Management Conference, to be held on April 7, 2006 

should the Court require oral argument on Defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended 

complaint. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
