Defendant Stewart Title Company, a Texas corporation, ("Stewart Title") hereby requests an enlargement of time within which to file a responsive pleading.

Mr. Collins and Plaintiffs' counsel agreed that a responsive pleading by Stewart Title Company would be due on or before January 15, 2009. (See Declaration of Robert D. Collins and Exhibit "A" attached thereto). Accordingly, Defendant Stewart Title respectfully requests an enlargement of time to file a responsive pleading to and including January 15, 2009.

DECLARATION OF ROBERT D. COLLINS I, Robert D. Collins, declare: 1. I am an attorney at law licensed to practice before all courts in the State of

California, including this District Court. I am a partner at the CVM Law Group, LLP, which is the attorney of record for Stewart Title Company, a Defendant in this matter. I am making this Declaration based upon my own knowledge and if called as a witness I will testify as to these facts. 2. I spoke to Anthony M. Perez, Jr., Plaintiffs' counsel in this matter, concerning an

extension of time to respond to Plaintiffs' Complaint. I explained to Mr. Perez that he had served Stewart Title of California which is a California entity instead of Stewart Title Company, a Texas corporation doing business in the State of Washington. I also advised Mr. Perez that I was authorized to waive or accept service on behalf of Stewart Title Company and we discussed an appropriate time to respond. Because of the holidays and a snow storm in Seattle, I was having trouble getting the files in this matter and needs sufficient time to review them and prepare a response. Mr. Perez graciously agreed to give Stewart Title until January 15, 2009 to respond to the Complaint. 3. A true and correct copy of my letter dated December 26, 2008, commemorating

this conversation is attached hereto as Exhibit "A". I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct. This Declaration was executed this 30th day of December, 2008, at Sacramento, California. _________________________________ ROBERT D. COLLINS
