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 Stores Corporation (collectively "Defendants" or "CVS"), by and through their respective counsel, hereby STIPULATE:
1. In a case management conference held on September 9, 2011, this Court scheduled argument on Defendants' Motion to Dismiss for November 4, 2011 at 10:00 a.m.
2. Catherine M. O'Neil, counsel for Defendants, has been scheduled to appear in a zoning hearing on the evening of November 3, 2011, which now makes travel from Georgia to California in time for the November 4, 2011 hearing very difficult.
3. Further, Defendants have just substituted counsel in this matter, due to the departure of Ross W. Nadel from King & Spalding. New counsel, Geoffrey M. Ezgar, is scheduled to be in New York on November 4, 2011.
4. In light of these conflicts, Defendants respectfully request that the hearing on the Motion to Dismiss be rescheduled.
5. The parties propose that the hearing be rescheduled for November 18, 2011 at 10:00 a.m.
