3. The Court adopted the parties’ stipulation by Order dated July 20, 2007;

4. In preparing the stipulation to continue the pretrial and trial dates, the parties

inadvertently omitted to continue the date to file dispositive motions, which had been set

for June 29, 2007; and

5. The parties will not be able to complete expert discovery until after the current cut off

date of November 16, 2007 due to the unavailability of certain expert witnesses to be

deposed and the availability of counsel.

Stipulation

Accordingly, based upon the foregoing, the parties hereby STIPULATE that:

1. The date for expert discovery cut-off shall be continued from November 16, 2007 to

December 7, 2007; and

2. The last date to file dispositive motions shall be December 14, 2007. Any dispositive

motions filed shall be noticed for a hearing before the Court on January 28, 2008 at

1:30 p.m.; and

3. All remaining pretrial dates shall remain as set by the Court on July 20, 2007.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

Respectfully submitted,
