STIPULATION TO EXTEND BRIEFING SCHEDULE FOR SUBMISSION OF REPLY BRIEF

WHEREAS, the hearing upon Defendant’s motion to dismiss the First Amended 

Complaint (the “Motion to Dismiss”) is currently set for October 7, 2005.

WHEREAS, due to a medical emergency that befell Plaintiff’s counsel, James B. Rhoads, 

the parties stipulated to extend Defendant’s deadline for submission of the opposition to the 

Motion to Dismiss. 

WHEREAS, the Defendant requires a brief extension of time to complete its reply to the 

opposition and whereas the Court will still have two (2) full weeks prior to the hearing on the 

Motion to Dismiss within which to review the reply brief; 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED and agreed by Plaintiff and Defendant, through their 

respective attorneys of record, that: 

1. The deadline for Defendant to file and serve its reply brief upon its Motion to Dismiss 

is extended from September 16, 2005 to September 23, 2005. 

Plaintiff and Defendant further stipulate and agree that this Stipulation may be e-filed or 

signed in counterparts, and facsimile signatures shall have the same force and effect as originals. 

This request is not being made for the purposes of delay. 

Plaintiff and Defendant jointly request that the Court enter an order in conformance with 

their stipulation (see attached proposed order).

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
