 Plaintiff, 

v. 

NATIONAL ACTION FINANCIAL SERVICES, 

AND ELIZABETH DOE, 

 Defendants. 

Case No.: _05-2084 FCD KJM 

STIPULATION TO VACATE PRE-TRIAL 

CONFERENCE AND TRIAL DATES AND 

[PROPOSED] ORDER 

Pre-Trial Conference: 03/30/07 

Trial Date: 06/05/07 

The Honorable Frank C. Damrell 

 Whereas the Pre-Trial Conference is currently scheduled for March 30, 2007, and the case is 

currently set for trial on June 5, 2007, 

 Whereas the parties have been diligently trying to mediate this case since September 2006. 

 Whereas the parties have stipulated to participate in the Court Voluntary Alternative Dispute 

Resolution program and have been assigned four neutrals since September 2006. However, for one 

reason or another all of the neutrals have turned down or rejected the assignment of this case due to no 

fault of the parties. The parties now have a neutral, Norman C. Hile, assigned to the case. 

 Whereas, the parties have not completed preparation for trial or the pre-trial requirements 

because they have been trying to mediate the case and therefore have not wanted to proceed with 

litigating the case as any increase in attorney’s fees will only make the case more difficult to settle. 

 Plaintiff Jessica Costa and Defendant National Action Financial Services hereby stipulate and 

agree to vacate the current Pre-Trial Conference scheduled for March 30, 2007 and to vacate the trial
