The parties, through their counsel, hereby stipulate and request that the Court enter an order: 

(a) continuing the status conference currently set for Friday, December 7, 

2007 to January 25, 2008; and 

(b) continuing the hearing on preliminary approval of class settlement from 

January 25, 2008 to February 29, 2008. 

Alternatively, the parties request that the Court grant plaintiffs' counsel leave to appear by 

telephone at the December 7 status conference. 

As previously noted in the parties' November 30, 2007 joint status conference statement, the 

language of the Settlement Agreement has been finalized, signed by all of the named plaintiffs, and 

the San Francisco Fire Commission has recommended its approval. The Agreement now must go to 

the San Francisco Board of Supervisors for approval. It now appears that approval by the full 

Board of Supervisors may not occur before late January 2008. 

Due to the month-long delay which has already occurred and the schedule of the Board of 

Supervisors, the parties jointly request a continuance of the status conference from December 7, 

2007 to January 25, 2008, with a joint status conference statement due on or before January 18, 

2008; and a continuance of the hearing on preliminary approval of class settlement from January 25, 

2007 to February 29, 2008, with briefs due on or before February 22, 2008.
