Public Auditor Doris Flores Brooks granted Tokio Marine Pacific Insurance and Calvo's Insurance Underwriters' request for continuance of hearing and other deadlines.

The parties must file its stipulation of facts and facts in dispute no later than February 19 along with submission of hearing exhibits that are not part of the procurement record no later than February 26. The formal hearings meanwhile are scheduled for March 5 through March 8.
