STIPULATED REQUEST TO BRIEFLY EXTEND DEADLINE FOR CONDUCTING MEDIATION,

AND ORDER THEREON

1. By this Stipulation, the parties respectfully request a brief extension of the deadline for

conducting a Mediation in this case, and a corresponding waiver of the Motion/timing requirements for

requesting such an extension, to permit a Mediation to occur on February 8, 2006, a date agreed to

(subject, of course, to the Court’s approval) by all parties, all counsel, and by the Mediator.

2. This case was referred to Mediation before Mediator Michael Bien. Our current deadline

for holding the Mediation is January 18, 2006, and a Mediation was set for January 18. Unfortunately,

a (somewhat disputed) scheduling issue unexpectedly arose at the last minute, relating to the timing of

the Mediator’s receipt of a Mediation Statement, causing the Mediator to declare a desire/need to

continue the Mediation. All parties, all counsel and the Mediator have cooperated in identifying the

next globally-available date for Mediation as February 8, 2006. Everyone has reserved that date.

3. Counsel realize that pursuant to ADR Local Rule 6-4(b) and the ADR Handbook,

Mediations are to be held within 90 days of the referral to Mediation unless the Court for “good cause”

orders otherwise. The parties submit that such “good cause” exists for this requested extension:

(A) Per LR 6-2(a)(1) and ADR Local Rule 6-5(b)(1), the reasons for this Request are

that the Mediator unexpectedly declared a need/desire for a continuance, the parties have

cooperated and desire a new date that will satisfy everyone. The February 8 date will

accomplish that, requiring just a brief extension of the normal, 90-day deadline for Mediations.

(B) Per ADR Local Rule 6-5(b)(2), all parties concur in this Request.

(C) Per LR 6-2(a)(1), no prior extensions of this or any other deadline have been

requested or granted in this case.

(D) Per LR 6-2(a)(2), this requested time modification will not affect any other

scheduled due dates or deadlines for this case.

4. Prior to filing this Stipulated Request, undersigned defense counsel contact this Court’s

courtroom deputy clerk, who referred counsel to the Court’s law clerk, for advice on the accepted format

for presenting this Request.

STIPULATED REQUEST TO BRIEFLY EXTEND DEADLINE FOR CONDUCTING MEDIATION,

AND ORDER THEREON

5. This Stipulated Request is not presented for purposes of delay. Rather it is presented in

good faith by diligent parties in an effort to re-calendar an important Mediation for this case.

6. For the reasons stated, the parties hereby respectfully request that this Stipulation be

accepted as and when presented, and that, for good cause shown, this Court hereby extend the deadline

for the conduct of a Mediation in this case to, and including, February 8, 2006, in order for a Mediation

to be conducted in this case on that date.
