Case No. 08-2379 CW STIPULATION AND ORDER GRANTING BRIEF EXTENSIONS ON THE DEADLINES RELATING TO MEDIATION AND ADDITION OF NEW PARTIES

Plaintiffs Massimiliano Martone ("Martone") and Martone Radio Technology, Inc. ("MRT") and Defendants David Burgess ("Burgess"), Kestrel Signal Processing, Inc. (Kestrel") and Range Networks, Inc.

1.

On August 28, 2008, at the first Case Management Conference in this case, the

Court set a series of deadlines for the management of this case. Relevant to this stipulation is the Court's setting of January 30, 2009 as both the deadline to add additional parties and for mediation to have occurred (taking into account the mediator's schedule). Case Management Order, dated September 5, 2008 (Docket No. 18.) 2. At the Case Management Conference, the Parties advised the Court that Judge

Edward Infante (Ret.) of JAMS had previously presided over a one day mediation in this matter. The Parties again wish to retain the services of Judge Infante in order to attempt to settle this matter without need of further litigation. The soonest available date for mediation in light of Judge Infante's schedule and the schedules of the Parties is February 17, 2009. Because of this timing, the Parties wish to postpone the deadline to add additional parties until after the mediation has concluded. The Parties agree that ten days post-mediation, or until February 27, 2009, is a reasonable extension of the deadline to add additional parties. It is submitted that such an adjustment to the Court's scheduling order will facilitate mediation and conserve judicial resources. 3. At this time, the Parties do not seek any change to the remaining deadlines in the

Court's September 5 scheduling order, including, without limitation, the time to assert additional claims against the Parties to the action.
