TO THE COURT, ALL PARTIES AND THEIR COUNSEL HEREIN: 

For the reasons set forth below, Plaintiff US TOWER CORPORATION and Defendant STS 

INTERNATIONAL, INC. (collectively, "the Parties"), hereby stipulate to continue the deadline 

by which Defendant must file an amended pleading to Friday, August 29, 2008: 

1. Plaintiff filed a Complaint for Damages against Defendant on February 14, 2008. 

2. Defendant filed a motion to dismiss on April 4, 2008, which motion was granted in 

part and denied in part by the Court on May 15, 2008. 

3. The mandatory scheduling conference in this matter has been set for September 15, 

2008 before Chief Magistrate Judge Sandra M. Snyder. 

4. Defendant timely filed its Answer on May 30, 2008 and intended to exercise its 

right to amend this pleading on or before June 19, 2008 under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 

15(a). 

5. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a), Defendant had until June 19, 2008 to 

amend its Answer as a matter of right, after which Rule 15(a) requires the party seeking to 

amend its pleading to obtain "leave or court" or "written consent of the adverse party." 

6. Rule 15(a) further provides that "leave shall be freely given when justice so 

requires." 

7. The court previously entered a stipulated order to continue the time for Defendant to 

amend its pleading in this case to August 15, 2008. 

8. The Parties completed early mediation on July 17, 2008. The case did not settle at 

the mediation but settlement discussions have continued and the parties are close to resolution. 

9. The Parties agree that the any potential settlement will be facilitated if the 

Defendant is not required to incur the expense of filing an amended Answer by August 15, 2008. 

10. In order to facilitate potential early resolution of this matter while allowing 

Defendant to preserve its right to amend its pleading, the Parties hereby stipulate that Defendant 

shall have a continuance to amend its pleading to Friday, August 29, 2008.
