 THE PARTIES TO THIS ACTION have agreed to the following issues 

regarding the mediation of this case. The parties originally both stipulated to court 

ordered mediation, and such mediation was ordered by the court with the appointment 

of Matthew B. Pavone. However, following the CMC in this matter, both parties 

expressed a desire to utilize private mediation and agreed upon the use of Jerry Spolter 

at JAMS and picked a date of November 8, 2006 for this mediation. 

 On August 31, 2006 the parties had a conference call with Matthew B. Pavone, 

and decided that it would be useful to have his services prior to the private mediation 

that is currently scheduled. Therefore, the parties to this action do hereby stipulate and 

request this court order as follows.

1.) That the time to conduct mediation in this matter be continued until 

November 30, 2006. 

2.) That the parties will mediate with Matthew B. Pavone by October 31, 

2006
