JOINT STIPULATION AND
[PROPOSED] ORDER RESCHEDULING
HEARING ON MOTION TO DISMISS
Judge: Hon. Charles R. Breyer

Relator Haroon Aziz and named Defendants CVS Caremark Corporation and Longs Drug

19 Stores Corporation (collectively “Defendants” or “CVS”), by and through their respective
20 counsel, hereby STIPULATE:
21

1. In a case management conference held on September 9, 2011, this Court scheduled

22 argument on Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss for November 4, 2011 at 10:00 a.m.
23

2. Catherine M. O’Neil, counsel for Defendants, has been scheduled to appear in a

24 zoning hearing on the evening of November 3, 2011, which now makes travel from Georgia to
25 California in time for the November 4, 2011 hearing very difficult.
26

3. Further, Defendants have just substituted counsel in this matter, due to the departure

27 of Ross W. Nadel from King & Spalding. New counsel, Geoffrey M. Ezgar, is scheduled to be
28 in New York on November 4, 2011.
