STIPULATION SETTING BRIEFING SCHEDULE FOR 

RESPONSES TO PLAINTIFFS’ COMPLAINT

 C 07-01804-CW 

WHEREAS, the parties have conferred and reached agreement that the complex factual 

and legal issues presented in Plaintiffs’ Amended Complaint necessitate extending the time 

frames set in the Federal Rules to the dates agreed upon below. 

WHEREAS, the parties have conferred and reached agreement regarding a briefing 

schedule setting the dates by which Defendants will answer, move, or otherwise respond to 

Plaintiffs’ Amended Complaint, as well as setting the dates by which Plaintiffs’ will respond to 

any Defendants’ motion. 

WHEREAS, the parties have conferred and reached agreement that Defendants will 

answer, move or otherwise respond to the complaint by August 15, 2007, Plaintiffs shall respond 

by October 1, 2007, and, if necessary, Defendants may file a Reply by October 17, 2007. 

WHEREAS, this action includes claims for securities fraud under the Securities Exchange 

Act of 1934 which are subject to certain provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform 

Act of 1995 (the “PSLRA”). 

 WHEREAS, the PSLRA includes the following provision: 

In any private action arising under this chapter [the Securities Exchange Act of 

1934], all discovery and other proceedings shall be stayed during the pendency of 

any motion to dismiss, unless the court finds upon the motion of any party that 

particularized discovery is necessary to preserve evidence or to prevent undue 

prejudice to that party. 

 WHEREAS, the court in Medhekar v. District Court, 99 F.3d 325 (9th Cir. 1996) held that 

the initial disclosure requirements of Rule 26(a) constitute “discovery” for purposes of the 

PSLRA, and that those disclosures are hence stayed by the PSLRA stay. 

 WHEREAS, a case management conference is scheduled for this matter on July 24, 2007 

at 2:00 PM, and no other schedules, orders, or time modification have been issued in this matter. 

STIPULATION 

Plaintiffs, through their attorneys of record, and Defendants, through their attorneys of 

record, hereby stipulate to the following schedule, and request that the Court make this stipulation 

an order of the Court:
