Court on August 16, 2006,

1. The Complaint in this action was filed on August 16, 2006. Service was effected on

the United States Attorney’s Office on August 21, 2006. Therefore, assuming service was

properly made upon the Attorney General pursuant to Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil

Procedure, the Answer to the Complaint was due on October 20, 2006.

2. However, because of the time needed to retrieve and assemble the administrative

record in the case by the Postal Service, the earliest it will be available to the United States

Attorney will be November 3, 2006. More time is required for the Assistant United States

Attorney to review the record in order to prepare the answer and for counsel to confer regarding

initial disclosures and ADR as required by the Court’s scheduling order.

For the above reasons, and subject to the approval of this Court, plaintiff Larry Romero

and defendant John E. Potter, Postmaster General of the United States, by and through their

undersigned counsel, stipulate to the modification of the schedule for the Initial Case

Management Conference and ADR Deadlines as follows:

1. The Answer to the Complaint will be filed by November 10, 2006;

2. The last day to meet and confer re: initial disclosures, early settlement, ADR process

selection, and discovery plan, file ADR Certification signed by Parties and Counsel, and file

either stipulation to ADR process or Notice of Need for ADR Phone Conference will be

November 22, 2006;

3. The last day to complete initial disclosures or state objection in Rule 26(f) Report, file

Case Management Statement, and file Rule 26(f) Report will be December 7, 2006;

4. The Initial Case Management Conference will be on December 14, 2006 in
