JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

JOINT STIPULATION REGARDING BRIEFING AND HEARING SCHEDULE 

 This Joint Stipulation Regarding Briefing and Hearing Schedule is entered into between 

Plaintiff Menlo Equities Development Services Company LLC (“MEDSCO”), and Defendant Fourth 

Quarter Properties XLVIII, LLC (“Fourth Quarter”), by and through their counsel of record, with 

reference to the following facts: 

1. On December 12, 2006, MEDSCO filed a Complaint against Fourth Quarter in the 

Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara. 

2. On December 21, 2006, MEDSCO filed an Application for Right to Attach Order and 

Order for Issuance of Writ of Attachment (“Writ Application”) against Fourth Quarter to attach 

certain property located in Sunnyvale, CA that is owned by Fourth Quarter (the “Property”). 

MEDSCO’s Writ Application was set for hearing in the Superior Court on January 30, 2007. 

3. MEDSCO also planned to have the Superior Court hear an Ex Parte Application for a 

Temporary Protective Order on January 8, 2007, to preserve the status quo pending the Superior 

Court’s ruling on the Writ Application. 

4. On January 5, 2007, Fourth Quarter removed the case from the Superior Court to this 

Court. Dkt. # 1. 

5. On January 12, 2007, Fourth Quarter filed a motion to dismiss MEDSCO’s Complaint. 

Dkt. # 5. The hearing on Fourth Quarter’s motion currently is set for March 5, 2007, at 9:00 a.m. 

6. On January 19, 2007, MEDSCO filed an Application for Right to Attach Order, 

Temporary Protective Order, and Order for Issuance of Writ of Attachment and set the matter for 

hearing on February 26, 2007. The closing on the sale of the Property is scheduled for March 2, 

2007. 

7. The parties have agreed to hold a mediation with Judge Fern Smith (Ret.) of JAMS on 

February 22, 2007, in an effort to resolve the case. 

8. Because the closing date for the sale of the Property is scheduled for March 2, 2007, and 

MEDSCO’s counsel, Anthony Feeherry will travel from Boston, MA to attend the hearings on 

Fourth Quarter’s motion and MEDSCO’s application, the parties believe that it is most efficient for 

the Court to hear concurrently MEDSCO’s application and Fourth Quarter’s motion to dismiss
