Case No. C-06-3924 VRW ( JCS)

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION 

By Order dated December 18, 2006, (the “Order”) Chief Judge Vaughn Walker referred this

matter to the undersigned for a Report and Recommendation. The Order required that a magistrate

judge conduct proceedings and determine “the amount ICSOP has paid on Central Garden’s behalf

in connection with the allocation arbitration and the B&L action.” (Order, at 16.) Following a case

management conference on December 22, 2006, the undersigned set a briefing schedule and

proceedings in connection with the Order, including a requirement that the parties meet and confer

in an effort to resolve the issue presented. On January 19, 2007, the parties filed a joint letter

(Docket No. 94), signed by counsel for both parties, which indicated that the parties had reached an

agreement that “the amount owed by Central Garden to ICSOP, pursuant to the order entered by

Chief Judge Vaughn Walker on December 18, 2006, is $1,224,151.61.”

Accordingly, good cause appearing, based on the stipulation of the parties, the undersigned

reports and recommends that the Court find that the amount ICSOP paid, after March 10, 2006, on

Central Garden’s behalf in connection with the allocation arbitration and the B&L action was

$1,224,151.61.

Dated: January 23, 2007
