STIPULATION TO CONTINUE ENE COMPLETION DATE

This Stipulation and request for Order is made on the following grounds:

2

1.

On August 15, 2011, this case was referred to an ENE, with Michael A. Jacobs, Esq.

3 as evaluator. Pursuant to the Local Rule ENE 5.4 (b), the ENE process must be completed within
4 90 days, or November 13, 2011.
5

2.

The parties held their initial conference as scheduled by Mr. Jacobs on October 7,

6 2011. As part of the ENE process, the parties and evaluator have agreed to exchange initial
7 informal discovery, and draft legal briefs on issues pertinent to evaluation of Plaintiff’s claims. This
8 process is continuing.
9

3.

In order to allow for the above process to be beneficial for the parties and the

10 evaluator, and to allow for a mutually available time for an ENE conference, the parties and
11 evaluator seek an extension of the deadline to complete the ENE, by 30 days, to December 12,
12 2011.
13

4.

The undersigned parties stipulate and join in this request for an order granting the

14 extension.
15

5.

The filing counsel (David A. Veljovich) hereby certifies and represents that Ms.

16 Speth and Mr. Martin authorized the signing of their names to this document.
