STIPULATION

Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 6-2 and 7-12, Plaintiffs and Counterdefendants Acclarent, Inc.,

Exploramed 11, Inc., and Advanced Polymers, Inc., (collectively, "Plaintiffs") and Defendants and

Counterclaimants Quest Medical, Inc., and Bruce B. Becker, M.D., (collectively, "Defendants"),

through their respective counsel of record, jointly request and stipulate that the Court continue the

Case Management Conference ("CMC") in this matter from May 4 to June 1, 2007, for the

following reasons:

This Court held a CMC on March 2, 2007. The Court continued that CMC to April 6, 1.

2007, because the parties' cross-motions to compel were then pending before the Honorable

Magistrate Judge Patricia V. Trumbull. On April 2, 2007, the Court entered an order pursuant to a

stipulation of the parties continuing the April 6 CMC to May 4, 2007 because Judge Trumbull had

not yet ruled on the majority of the issues in the cross-motions [Docket No. 139].

Judge Trumbull has now ruled on the parties' cross-motions pursuant to a sealed 2.

order dated April 9, 2007 [Docket No. 140]. This week, Defendants served certain supplemental

discovery responses under the order, and Plaintiffs are expected to do the same on April 27. The

parties have not fully met and conferred but currently dispute whether the supplemental discovery

responses are adequate. Further meeting and conferring will be necessary before determining

whether follow-up discovery motions will be filed before Judge Trumbull.

Because the Court has previously continued prior CMCs because of this discovery dispute,

and in order for the CMC to be as meaningful as possible and for the case schedule to be as realistic

as possible, the parties request and stipulate that this Court continue the May 4, 2007 CMC to June

1, 2007, at 10:30 a.m.
