resulted in him being in intensive care in a Sacramento hospital for approximately

need time to further recuperate, and counsel has agreed to extend disclosure dates 

as provided herein.

disclosure (without reports) date presently set for January 26, 2010 is hereby extended to February 

12, 2010;
