STIPULATION TO CONTINUE PRETRIAL AND TRIAL DATES AND [proposed] ORDER

For the reason that plaintiff United States and defendants William C. Beretta and Jennifer Beretta need additional time to complete their good faith efforts to resolve this matter, the parties seek a continuance of the pretrial and trial dates. This additional time is necessary as settlement is unusually difficult due to the amount of the United States' claim and the nature of the asset from which collection from the Berettas is sought. Immediate settlement of the matter is further complicated as the Department of Justice officials in Washington, D.C., who must approve the settlement of the United States' interests, are in a period of transition between administrations. Accordingly, the parties believe it is in their best interests to continue this matter so that their good faith settlement efforts may be completed in a manner and at a time most advantageous for settlement. Accordingly, it is hereby stipulated by and between plaintiff, United States of America, and defendants, William C. Beretta, Jennifer Beretta, and Max Day, through their respective counsel, that ///

pretrial and trial dates be continued to a time after February, 23, 2009, except for the week of March 2, 2009.
