The court finds that CSA's brief would be of

assistance to the court in considering the motion. The court

takes further notice of defendant's request for an additional

thirty days to respond if the request is granted. CSA is

therefore given leave to file the Memorandum of Points and

Authorities in Support of Partial Summary Judgment in Favor of

Plaintiff, which was attached to its application. This does not

mean, however, that CSA may appear for any other purpose in this

matter. Defendant is given 30 days from the date of this order

to file its response to CSA's brief. No replies to the response

may be filed. The hearing on plaintiff's motion for partial

summary judgment is continued to August 6, 2007, at 2:00 p.m. 

The court will hear the oral arguments of the parties, as well as

CSA, on the motion at that time.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: June 19, 2007
