OF TIME TO FILE RESPONSE TO 

COMPLAINT AND JOINT STATUS 

REPORT AND ORDER THEREON

Doc. #132693 v.1

September 18, 2006. This stipulation is made on the grounds that the parties remain 

engaged in settlement negotiations, which have progressed over the last few weeks. Until 

recently, those negotiations only involved the parties to this action, but recent events have 

necessitated the involvement of third parties. The parties to this action have agreed on 

language of a proposed settlement agreement (although the parties reserve the right to 

make further changes such as in response to changes proposed by the third parties), and 

such proposed settlement agreement is currently being reviewed by legal counsel for the 

above-mentioned third parties. The late addition of third parties into the negotiations has 

caused the settlement process to take longer than anticipated originally, but the parties 

hope to reach a settlement of this matter in the next week. There have been three previous 

extensions of time on the time to respond to the Complaint and one on the time to file the 

joint report.
