RE: Charles A. Stanziale v. Pepper Hamilton, et al., No. 04-1551 (JJF)
Royal Indemnity C0. v. Pepper Hamilton LLP, et al., No. 05-165 (JJF)
Dear Judge Farnan:
Enclosed for the Court’s consideration is the revised case management order for
the Pepper Hamilton-related cases listed above, Civil Action Nos. 04-1551 and 05-165. The
parties respectfully request that the Court enter this revised case management order. The
defendants have all agreed to the revised schedule.
The revised case management order reflects the Court’s ruling granting the
Motion of Pepper Hamilton LLP and Robert Gagné, in His Capacity as an Attorney Practicing at
Pepper Hamilton LLP, to Strike Expert Reports and Preclude Testimony of Douglas M. Branson,
Nancy J. Moore and Steven L. Schwarcz entered on May 25, 2007 and is in accordance with the
oral request made at the emergency hearing held on May 17, 2007 to amend the deadlines for
submission of expert reports. Only the dates for (a) the defendants’ submission of expert reports,
(b) plaintiffs’ submission of rebuttal expert reports, (c) the date of commencement of expert
discovery and (d) the parties’ submission of letters to the Court regarding issues to be raised on
summary judgment have been extended by two (2) weeks. All other dates originally set forth in
the Amended Case Management Order remain the same.

We also enclose herewith our opposition to Plaintiffs’ recently—filed "emergency
motion" for leave to replace the stricken expert witnesses. The enclosed revised case
management order assumes that the Court denies the relief requested by Royal Indemnity
Company.
We are available at the Court’s convenience should the Court have any questions
or concerns.
Respectfully Submitted,
