Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 16-2(e) and 7-12, it is hereby stipulated by and between 

Plaintiffs and Defendants GE Commercial Finance Business Property Corporation ( GE Capital ), American International Group, Inc. ( AIG ), and Commerce and Industry Insurance Company

( CIIC ) that Plaintiffs, GE Capital, AIG, and CIIC (collectively, the Parties ) and requested of this

Court that the current Initial Case Management Conference originally set for November 18, 2005 and

continued to January 6, 2006 by Stipulation and Order, further continued to February 10, 2006 by 

Stipulation and Order, further continued by the Court to February 16, 2006 and further continued to 

April 28, 2006 by Stipulation and Order be further continued to May 19, 2006. The parties further stipulate and request of this Court that the current case management 

schedule, which was established in the June 29, 2005 Order Setting Initial Case Management 

Conference issued by Magistrate Judge Bernard Zimmerman, as amended by Judge Samuel Conti on 

July 27, 2005, and as further amended pursuant to the (1) Stipulation and Order to Extend the Time 

in Which Parties May Meet and Confer and Complete Disclosures Pursuant to Rule 26(f) and Confer 

Pursuant to Rule 26(f) signed by Judge Samuel Conti on October 6, 2005, (2) Further Stipulation and 

Order to Extend the Time in Which Parties May Meet and Confer and Complete Disclosures 

Pursuant to Rule 26(f) and Confer Pursuant to Rule 26(f) signed by Judge Samuel Conti on 

November 3, 2005, (3) Second Further Stipulation and Order to Extend the Time in Which Parties 

May Meet and Confer and Complete Disclosures Pursuant to Rule 26(f) and Confer Pursuant to Rule

Settlement Agreement signed by Judge Samuel Conti on January 4, 2006, and (6) Third Stipulation 

and Proposed Order Requesting Continuance of Initial Case Management Conference and Related 

Deadlines Pending Execution of Formal Final Settlement Agreement signed by Judge Samuel Conti 

on February 2, 2006 ( Stipulations ), be modified as follows:

1. Each party shall have up to and including May 5, 2006 in which to meet and confer 

regarding initial disclosures, early settlement, ADR process selection and discovery 

plan and in which to file and serve ADR certification.1

2. Each party shall have up to and including May 5, 2006 to complete initial disclosures 

or state objections in a Rule 26(f) Report, file/serve Case Management Statement, and 

file/serve Rule 26(f) Report.

3. The Parties shall meet and confer pursuant to Rule 26(f) by May 5, 2006. The reason for this Stipulation and request is that the parties have finalized a settlement of 

this action and desire relief from the Initial CMC and these case management deadlines to allow 

sufficient time to obtain the signatures of all parties involved. Although the parties had planned to 

have a complete signed settlement agreement by April 28, 2006, the process to finalize this 

agreement took longer than anticipated. Now that the parties have reached agreement, they are in the 

process of obtaining the necessary signatures. As a result, the parties make the above stipulation and 

request for continuance of the Initial CMC and related deadlines in an effort to preserve judicial 

resources and to avoid the potential unnecessary expenditure of time and resources in engaging in 

those items.

Respectfully Submitted,

 1 Note: Defendant GE already filed its ADR Certification November 3, 2005.
