WHEREAS on August 7, 2007, Plaintiff Chattler filed her Class Action Complaint for 

Breach of Contract, Regulatory Violation, and Breach of the Implied Covenant of Good Faith and 

Fair Dealing (“Complaint”); 

WHEREAS on October 9, 2007, the United States of America and the United States 

Department of State (collectively “Defendants”) filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint; 

WHEREAS on November 30, 2007, Plaintiff filed an opposition to Defendants’ motion to 

dismiss, and concurrently therewith, filed Plaintiff’s Motion to Stay Ruling on Motion to Dismiss 

(“Motion to Stay Ruling”); 

WHEREAS Plaintiff believes that the issues in Plaintiff’s Motion to Stay Ruling largely 

overlap with those raised in Plaintiff’s opposition to the motion to dismiss; 

WHEREAS for the sake of efficiency and to reduce costs, the parties have agreed, subject 

to approval by the Court, to shorten the time for Plaintiff's Motion to Stay Ruling; 

WHEREAS the only previous time modification to the schedule in this case has been, by 

stipulation and Court order, the re-scheduling of the Initial Case Management Conference from 

December 7, 2007 to January 18, 2008 at 2:00 p.m.; and 

WHEREAS this stipulation and order shortening time on the hearing for Plaintiff’s Motion 

to Stay Ruling will have no further impact on the schedule for this case; 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between the 

undersigned counsel for Plaintiff and counsel for Defendants, subject to the approval of the Court, 

that: 

1. Defendants shall file their opposition to the Motion to Stay Ruling on December 14, 

2007; 

2. Plaintiff shall file her reply in support of the Motion to Stay Ruling on December 

18, 2007; and
