STIP. & [PROPOSED] ORDER EXTENDING ENE 

PROCESS UNTIL AFTER RULING ON MOTION TO STAY 

– Case No. C07-0512 MHP 

- 2 - 21727\1349315.1

Alienware has appealed the Arbitration Order and has moved this Court to stay proceedings 

herein pending resolution of that appeal by the Ninth Circuit. Plaintiff has filed an opposition to 

that motion. The Court has taken Alienware’s request for a stay pending appeal under 

submission, but has not yet ruled on the matter. 

 2. Pursuant to prior stipulation and Court order, the parties are required to complete 

the Early Neutral Evaluation process by November 8, 2007, 90 days from the entry of the 

Arbitration Order. 

 3. William F. Alderman, Esq. was appointed Early Neutral Evaluator and held a 

conference call on September 24, 2007, with counsel for all parties present. On this call, the 

parties agreed that it would promote efficiency to postpone Early Neutral Evaluation to within 90 

days of issuance of the Court’s order on Alienware’s pending motion to stay proceedings. 

 4. Mr. Alderman had no objection to the parties’ decision to postpone Early Neutral 

Evaluation. 

 5. The parties have therefore stipulated that Early Neutral Evaluation shall be 

completed within 90 days of the Court’s order resolving Alienware’s pending motion to stay 

these proceedings if such motion is denied by the Court. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED. 

I, C. Brandon Wisoff, attest that concurrence in the filing of the above stipulation and 

[proposed] order has been obtained from counsel for Plaintiff and from Mr. Alderman as the 

Early Neutral Evaluator.
