VIA ELECTRONIC FILING (AND NEXT-DAY HAND DELIVERY) Hon. Magistrate Judge Bernard Zimmerman

United States District Court, N.D. California 450 Golden Gate Avenue 15th Floor, Courtroom G San Francisco, CA 94102 Re: Unionamerica Insurance Company Limited v. The Fort Miller Group , Inc. et al., N.D. Cal. Case No. C05-1912 BZ

Dear Judge Zimmerman: Through their undersigned counsel, the parties hereby jointly request a two-week extension of the deadline for the parties to certify pursuant to the Court's Order Scheduling Jury Trial and Pretrial Matters that all discovery supplementation has been completed, from the current deadline of September 24, 2008 to October 8, 2008. Such an extension is necessary because the current deadline for such certification is today, September 24, and both sides believe that further supplementation will be necessary. The parties have been working to complete discovery and, as a result of the meet and confer process surrounding these efforts, and to avoid motions to compel supplementing various responses, have only very recently either agreed to provide certain supplemental responses or become aware of a potential need for additional supplementation. The parties are currently determining the precise extent to which additional supplementation may be necessary, and anticipate being able to complete whatever supplementation should ultimately prove necessary by October 8, 2008. 9/25/2008 For the foregoing reasons, the parties respectfully request that the certification deadline be ES DISTRICT T C extended from September 24, 2008 to October 8, 2008. TA Respectfully submitted, / Respectfully submitted,
