held on April 7, 2006, should the Court desire oral argument on defendants’ motion to dismiss the 

amended complaint; 

WHEREAS, an extended outage of defendants’ computer network has interfered 

with, and delayed, completion of defendants’ reply papers on their motion to dismiss; 

WHEREAS, in view of the computer problems, and to enable defendants to 

prepare their reply papers, the parties have agreed to adjourn the date of the hearing on the motion 

to dismiss, in compliance with this Court’s Rules; 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, as follows: 

1. The hearing date for defendants’ motion to dismiss plaintiff’s amended 

complaint shall be adjourned to April 21, 2006. 

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

expeditious to hold the Further Case Management Conference on April 21, 2006 as well, rather 

than on the currently-set date of May 12, 2006, so that new discovery cut-off dates can be set. 

3. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate that should the Court desire oral 

argument on defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint, the Further Case 

Management Conference shall also be held on April 21, 2006, otherwise it will take place on May 

12, 2006 as initially scheduled.
