WHEREAS the Court set a trial date of August 9, 2006, and various pretrial dates

(including a discovery cut off date of November 11, 2005 and an expert disclosure date of

January 9, 2005) in its Pretrial Scheduling Order of April 11, 2005; and

WHEREAS the parties are concerned that many of the material witnesses in this case are

the preparation of expert reports (which will be based on the results of such discovery); and 

WHEREAS the discovery cut-off and expert disclosure dates can be extended without

impacting the current trial date, the date of the pretrial conference or the deadlines for the various

submission to the Court:

The parties hereby stipulate and request that the Court order that the:

LAST DAY TO COMPLETE DISCOVERY TO BE CONTINUED

FROM November 11, 2005 TO April 7, 2006

and DISCLOSURE OF EXPERTS (AND EXPERT REPORTS) TO BE CONTINUED

FROM January 9, 2006 TO April 28, 2006

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
