Stip. Permitting Plaintiff to File First Amended Complaint; [Proposed] Order -- Page 2

WHEREAS, pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1782, on July 26, 2006,

plaintiff Mary Jane Augustine provided defendant with written notice of her and the

class’s claims for violation of the California Consumers Legal Remedies Act (“CLRA”),

Cal. Civil Code §§ 1750, et seq.;

WHEREAS, plaintiff filed her initial complaint in this case, including a claim for

injunctive relief under the CLRA, in state court on July 27, 2006;

WHEREAS, on September 8, 2006, defendant removed this case to this Court;

WHEREAS, on September 15, 2006, defendant filed an answer to the complaint;

WHEREAS, pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1782, plaintiff now seeks

to amend her complaint to add a claim for damages under the CLRA; 

WHEREAS, in addition, it appears that Bank of America, N.A., the defendant in

this case, is not in the credit card business, and that plaintiff has therefore named the

wrong defendant; and

WHEREAS, because defendant has answered the complaint, and in order to avoid

unnecessary motion practice, plaintiff has requested, and defendant has agreed, to

stipulate to the filing of the first amended complaint adding a claim for damages under

the CLRA and substituting FIA Card Services, N.A. as the defendant.
