San Francisco, CA 94111

WHEREAS This action was originally filed in Alameda Superior Court, and was timely 

removed by defendant to this Court on March 20, 2006, based on federal question jurisdiction. 

On March 24, 2006, this Court, at the request of the parties, stayed the action based on the 

pendency of plaintiff’s University grievance concerning her termination; and,

WHEREAS Plaintiff’s University grievance is still pending. While the parties have 

completed the presentation of live testimony, briefs must still be submitted, the hearing officer 

must issue a report, and the appropriate University official must make his/her determination

based thereon. No schedule has been set yet for these events; and,

WHEREAS the outcome of plaintiff’s University grievance may give rise to legal issues 

of administrative exhaustion, judicial exhaustion, res judicata and collateral estoppel, or may 

remedy some or all of the harm claimed herein;

THEREFORE, the parties, by and through their attorneys, hereby stipulate and agree that 

the stay and the Case Management Conference be continued until September 22, 2006.
